Someone asked me, who exactly is affected by that on-chain "queue jumping" (MEV/ordering)? Frankly, the ones who suffer the most are people like me who love setting stop-losses and range orders: you think you're executing at that price, but then you're squeezed out, slippage becomes huge, and your stop-loss is more likely to be "hit," triggering liquidation alarms... After being liquidated twice, I became especially sensitive to this.



What's more annoying is that it's not just a poor trading experience; it also erodes the sense of fairness: for the same operation, who goes first isn't determined by who clicks faster, but by who can better snatch the position. Ordinary users find it really hard to "fight back"; they can only do fewer orders that are easy to get sandwiched, avoid over-trading, and not be too greedy with profits or leverage.

Recently, everyone’s been talking about modularization and the DeFi layer, and developers are excited, while users look confused. I’m a bit worried: no matter how the underlying layers are split and narrated, if the ordering still feels unfair, new users will just try it twice and then leave. Anyway, I’d rather earn a little less now than risk my stop-loss and positions, and just stay alive first.
