Recently, I saw everyone arguing about who has higher TPS, lower fees, and more subsidies in L2… I actually care more about an old issue: MEV. To put it simply, it’s “queue jumping.” It seems that the affected group isn’t just high-frequency arbitrage traders; ordinary users doing a swap, minting, or even clearing a position to stop a loss—thinking they’re lining up properly—suddenly find someone cutting in front of them. Slippage increases, transactions get worse, and it’s hard to prove what exactly happened; you can only blame your slow hands. On-chain, transparency exists, but when the ordering layer is opaque, the feeling becomes “who’s better at dealing with miners/nodes.” I now try to chase fewer hot topics and place orders in batches. I’d rather be slower than get squeezed around. The word “fairness” is quite heavy, but at least normal users shouldn’t always be the ones getting reaped.
