Imagine a group of engineers trying to tame a wild beast. Flashbots is kind of like that. It's a research group that's looking for ways to control a situation called MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). MEV can be a bit complicated, but basically it's when miners on a blockchain prioritize certain transactions to make more money for themselves. Flashbots is trying to find ways to make MEV less disruptive in the DeFi world.
