DEX Arbitrage
When the same token has different prices on two DEXs, an arbitrageur can buy low on one and sell high on the other — all in a single atomic transaction. This is the most common form of MEV, accounting for ~40% of all MEV extraction on Ethereum.
Two-Pool Price Discrepancy
When a large swap on Pool A moves its price, Pool B still has the old price. An arbitrageur buys cheap on Pool B and sells on Pool A, equalizing prices and pocketing the difference.
