Last night, feeling itchy, I went back to being a guinea pig and tried the new wallet's "auto-accelerate" feature.
As a result, I clicked on the same swap twice; the first one seemed to be pulled out of the queue and inserted at the back...
Even though the blockchain shows transparency, that feeling of "I pressed confirm but it doesn't count" is pretty frustrating.
What's more outrageous is that sometimes you can't see who jumped the queue; you can only see that your transaction price has become uglier.
To put it simply, MEV/ordering front-running directly impacts ordinary users' slippage and experience:
You think you're trading with the market, but actually you're racing against a bunch of faster bots.
Recently, with staking, shared security, and yield stacking being criticized as "nested," I can understand—
as the yields stack up, behind the scenes, it all relies on mechanisms like ordering and liquidation.
Once the chain gets congested or targeted, the ones who suffer are the slow ones.
Fairness might not be achievable with a one-size-fits-all solution, but at least wallets/apps could be more straightforward about "You might be front-run,"
so I know what I'm playing with.
