Friends, this is an important concept to understand: MEV and sandwich attacks!
Since Ethereum switched to proof of stake, many blocks have been assembled by professional builders via MEV-Boost, with validators choosing the highest-bidding block.
Sandwich attacks profit from the price difference caused by losses incurred by the users caught in the middle. For ordinary users, this amounts to an invisible cost.
Here’s the current price: $ETH is trading at 2435.92 (24h -0.77%).
Save this for now and take a closer look later.
