Exchange Fairness Metrics

Exchange fairness metrics are quantitative indicators used to evaluate whether a trading venue is providing equal access and execution quality to all participants. These metrics track things like order execution latency, price slippage, and the frequency of front-running or MEV extraction.

By measuring these factors, developers and users can determine if an exchange is truly decentralized and neutral. High fairness scores indicate that the matching engine is operating correctly and that no single actor has an undue advantage.

These metrics are crucial for building trust in decentralized financial systems. They provide a transparent way to compare different exchanges and hold them accountable to their promises of neutrality.

As the market matures, these metrics will become the standard for evaluating exchange performance.
