# MEV Resistant Harvests

With the inception of Flashbots, there has been a rising trend of developing projects building out MEV resistant protocols. In Utopia, we employ our own MEV resistant strategies to maximize the capital efficiency of all our strategies. There are two immediate strategies that are used to avoid MEV.

The first strategy we use to avoid MEV is using aggregated liquidity when swapping. Doing so, we arbitrage our own swap, preventing openings for arbitrage opportunities from within other liquidity sources. The arbitrage will also yield more capital over time leading to higher rates.

&#x20;

The second strategy we use to avoid MEV is slippage protection. To ensure the integrity of all harvest, we have added slippage protection to ensure that no harvests are front run. Doing so, we protect our capital and improve returns over time from malicious actors.
