Cointelegraph Research and EigenPhi Partner to Deliver Audit-Ready MEV Data Intelligence
Cointelegraph Research has announced a strategic data partnership with EigenPhi, a leader in verifiable on-chain intelligence, to deliver audit-ready analyses of market-extractable value (MEV), sandwich attacks, and liquidity patterns to Cointelegraph’s global readership. The collaboration aims to transform complex on-chain phenomena into transparent, evidence-based insights accessible to both retail and institutional audiences.
Through this partnership, Cointelegraph will leverage EigenPhi’s labeled datasets — including granular data down to the transaction hash, timestamp, and ledger position — to publish verifiable and independently auditable reports. These will uncover trends in sandwich attacks, liquidity shifts, and cross-protocol transaction behaviors, providing readers with data they can not only understand but also validate themselves.
“Crypto audiences deserve data journalism they can inspect, not just believe,” said Vladimir Shapovalov, Head of Research at Cointelegraph. “EigenPhi’s labeled, auditable datasets strengthen our ability to explain how MEV actually impacts everyday trades, especially on stablecoin pairs.”
Takeaway
Turning Complex MEV Data Into Actionable, Evidence-Based Reporting
The joint research will focus on simplifying the most complex aspects of on-chain trading behavior, including identifying and quantifying sandwich attacks — manipulative trading patterns that extract value from retail and algorithmic transactions. The analysis will reveal how often these attacks occur, where they happen, and which platforms or trading pairs are most affected.
By categorizing victim by size — such as transactions under $1,000 or between $1,000–$5,000 — the project will explore whether smaller traders are disproportionately targeted. The studies will provide clear, visual metrics showing how attack frequency, loss magnitude, and median victim size evolve over time, offering an unprecedented look into the real-world impact of MEV on execution quality.
“Cointelegraph reaches the broadest cross-section of crypto participants—from first-time stablecoin users to market makers,” said Mars Cheng, CEO & Founder of EigenPhi. “We’re excited to assist the newsroom publish analyses that are both timely and verifiable, including distribution-level evidence for trends like the rise of sandwiches on smaller tickets.”
Takeaway
Advancing Transparency, Trust, and Accountability in Crypto Research
This collaboration is more than a research built on evidence rather than speculation. By embedding verifiable datasets directly into Cointelegraph’s reporting, readers will gain direct visibility into transaction-level provenance, ensuring accuracy and trust in every published analysis.
The initiative represents a wider industry shift toward data integrity and journalism, enabling crypto professionals, regulators, and retail investors to base their decisions on transparent, traceable intelligence. Each dataset used in Cointelegraph’s upcoming MEV series will adhere to a methodologically consistent cadence, ensuring comparability over time and assisting to build a stable foundation for ongoing market research.
As MEV continues to shape DeFi markets and impact liquidity across protocols, this partnership positions Cointelegraph and EigenPhi as leaders in verifiable on-chain analytics, transforming how — and measure — fairness in decentralized trading environments.
