Recently, I saw someone talking about "on-chain fair trading" again, and I couldn't help but chuckle... Basically, the order priority is always there, and people jumping the line are never in short supply. The ones truly affected aren't the "whales losing or gaining," but ordinary people who are quick and a bit guilty: after clicking swap, they realize the execution price was pushed up, and when slippage is amplified, it's like giving others a toll fee.

Right now, I prefer to go slower: set slippage limits, use private channels if possible, and check multiple routes (some paths look cheap but are actually easy to get sandwiched). MEV isn't some mystical thing; it's just shouting in the public queue "This order is urgent," and of course, someone else is more urgent... and more shameless.

By the way, the NFT royalty mudslinging also looks pretty similar: everyone wants "creator income" but also wants "secondary trading to be free," and in the end, it's about who can take a little more within the rules. Anyway, my current principle is just one thing: don't become the big order that others see as an easy target. That's all for now.
