Our data collection approach is far from perfect and we need as much help we can get in spotting misclassified transactions. You can see some individual transactions we classify in the Leaderboard page of the dashboard.

There are several kinds of misclassified transactions:

• a transaction we've classified as MEV but isn't
• a transaction that has a different revenue and/or tx_fee than the one displayed

For any misclassified transaction you find, please open an issue on here for us to look at it, prune it from our db and add a filter to our crawlers to ignore similar transactions in the future or correct the calculation error.

General feedback

Requirements:

• be kind :)
