Add detail on MEV after The Merge

[emmanuel-awosika]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current page on Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) doesn't have a lot of information about MEV after The Merge (except that PoS validators will extract MEV, not miners).

Describe the solution you'd like

Seeing as MEV is predicted to factor heavily in validator incomes (a consequence of reduced ether issuance), I think it'd be great to mention how Ethereum is working on mitigating the impact of MEV on consensus-layer security and decentralization. Specifically, explaining how concepts, like Proposer-Builder Separation, and current solutions (e.g., MEV Boost) will help curb MEV's negative effects after the transition to proof-of-stake.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Putting it as an FAQ on The Merge page (e.g., "How does The Merge affect MEV?") is possible, but I think having an actual explainer would be better.

Additional context

If this sounds good, I can volunteer to start things off by creating an "MEV after The Merge" section on the MEV page.

Hi Emmanuel

thanks for this - I personally would support this idea - I simply haven't had time to get to it myself among the other merge updates but acknowledge it is definitely a gap and would appreciate you working on it!

Please go ahead and take ownership of this - I'll look forward to reviewing!

Thanks for the prompt feedback, @jmcook1186. I'll get started on it as soon as possible.

Not sure if there's info there worth grabbing/taking into account.

I agree with this issue overall! I think a FAQ on MEV in relation to the merge makes sense. I'd just suggest let's be wary of writing too much content within the FAQ. Let's answer the question but push visitors to the dedicated MEV page (https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/mev/) for most of the MEV content.
