ClankerMevModule2BlockDelay

Clanker's fallback mev module if no chain specific module exists

Clanker's fallback mev module, ClankerMevModuleDelay, exists on every chain we deploy on. It is used to prevent snipers from trying to search in the same block as deployment. The module simply blocks swaps until 2 blocks after deployment.

This delay is to prevent Clanker deployments from causing gas spikes. For example, when Clanker was deployed on v3, searchers caused a spike in the gas price of the network by attempting to search for deployments in the same block (documented here). The solution to this problem was to add a delay between when a pool was deployed and when it is swappable. Our initial MEV module, ClankerMevModuleDelay, is used to add a delay between when a pool is deployed and when it is enabled for searching.
