Why do swaps on DEXs get “sandwiched”? Don’t worry, here’s the lowdown:
After Ethereum switched to proof of stake, many blocks were handed to specialized block builders via MEV-Boost, and validators chose the highest-bidding block.
The profit from a sandwich trade comes from the price loss suffered by the user being sandwiched. For ordinary users, it’s essentially an invisible transaction cost.
The old me: Place the order first, ask questions later. The new me: Understand the rules.
