Study Notes | MEV and Sandwich Trading
① The wider the slippage limit set by a user, the more room sandwich traders have to profit.
② Since Ethereum switched to proof of stake, many blocks have been assembled via MEV-Boost by professional block builders, with validators choosing the highest-bidding block.
③ When swapping tokens on a DEX, set slippage appropriately based on the token’s volatility. Don’t set it too high just to make sure the transaction goes through.

In highly volatile markets, manage your risk first.
