Recently, I saw someone criticizing MEV and unfair ordering, saying that on-chain transactions are being "cut in line." Basically, the biggest impact is on small users who place large slippage and are in a rush to get in: you think pressing confirm puts you in line, but in reality, it’s a signal to others that you’re willing to be a "sheep." Large funds are more likely to split orders and set limit prices, making it less easy to be drained.

Now I look at projects not only for permissions and LP locks but also for the routing of commonly used interaction addresses: which platform they go through, whether there are strange intermediary contracts, as avoiding those can reduce the chances of getting caught off guard. Recently, hardware wallets are out of stock again, and phishing links are everywhere… In such an environment, rushing and clicking without checking addresses is probably not very friendly. Anyway, I’d rather be a bit slower and pay fewer tuition fees.
