Tonight I ran a few more on-chain tasks again, and the most annoying thing is still that feeling of "I clearly clicked confirm first, but someone else cut in line and completed the transaction first." MEV/ordering, in simple terms, is about someone being able to turn your transaction into an obstacle or stepping stone: small users pay a bit more slippage and fees, big players might get squeezed and end up with fewer chips, while market makers and arbitrageurs treat it as a daily tool... Whether it's fair or not, the most immediate impact is on costs and mindset, and after running around, I just want to shut down my computer.

Recently, there's been chatter about rate cut expectations, the US dollar index, and risk assets all fluctuating wildly together; on-chain, it’s more like an amplifier: when the market gets excited, front-runners become even more aggressive, and if you're slow, you really miss out on everything.

Forget it, I’ll first revoke the authorization for the contracts I used today, and continue delivering takeout tomorrow.
