Let’s talk about MEV and sandwich trading.
Arbitrage and liquidations are also common sources of MEV. These activities help bring prices across different pools into alignment and clear out risky positions.
Here’s something worth thinking about: sandwich trading profits from the extra amount users caught in the middle end up paying. For ordinary users, this is effectively a hidden transaction cost.
When swapping on a DEX, set slippage appropriately based on the token’s volatility. Don’t set it too high just to make sure your trade goes through.
