Last night before bed, I stumbled on yet another argument about who has higher TPS, lower fees, and bigger subsidies… it all gave me a headache. Back to the topic of blockchain builders and bundles: I don’t think retail investors really need to memorize the whole PBS/MEV playbook. Just knowing that “the transaction you send may not go straight into the block; it might be bundled, front-run, or rerouted” is enough. The practical implementation is: don’t force trades at market price in pools with thin liquidity—figure out slippage and failure costs first. Split large amounts into several transactions, and if necessary, use protected routing or private sending so you don’t end up squeezed in the middle. Anyway, I’m still in the stage where I’m struggling with market-making parameters—so for now, I focus on the small details I can control. Don’t expect that if you research and understand it all, you’ll necessarily beat the builders; just try not to lose too badly for now.
