Whenever someone says "there's an arbitrage opportunity on the chain," my first reaction isn't excitement, but to check the routing and slippage: you think you're catching a bargain, but most of the time you're actually paying extra fees or fueling the sandwich attack for others.


The most disgusting part of sandwich attacks is that at the moment you execute the trade, it seems fine, but after calculating, you realize you actually got less than expected, and your wallet has been drained of some gas fees, making you furious enough to curse.

Recently, there's been ongoing debate about on-chain data tools and label systems being laggy. To put it simply, if you keep chasing those "smart money labels," they might have already changed addresses or mixed routing to lead you astray.
If you really want to do it, break your trades into smaller parts, set limit orders instead of greedily chasing, avoid hot pools, and when necessary, switch to a cleaner route.
Better to earn a little less than to feed the sandwich attack.
Now, take a look.
