Recently, I've been looking at that MEV "front-running" thing again. Honestly, it's not about who is smarter; it's about who has the right to see first and act first. The ones most affected are usually not the big players, but ordinary people who just do a quick swap with wide slippage: their transaction price gets manipulated, and they think it's just market fluctuation.

And now, some on-chain data tools and tagging systems are criticized for being laggy or even misleading. I can understand that... You see "some address is doing bad things," but in reality, they might have already changed their identity, or the tags simply can't keep up. To truly judge, you still need to look into transaction order, gas, bundle details, and other specifics.

Why am I so calm? I have a habit: for any transaction that seems "unfair," I first review the transaction trace and event logs before criticizing, especially those related to permissions or upgrades. I want to confirm whether it's a mechanism issue or a misconfiguration on my part. Otherwise, getting emotional only leads to blaming the wrong person. Anyway, on-chain, it's not about fairness; it's about order.
