Last night it rained, and while scrolling through Twitter I saw a bunch of L2s comparing TPS, costs, and subsidies, arguing like a market stall... But I kept stuck on another question in my mind: when it comes to ordering, basically it's about who can cut in line. MEV sounds very advanced, but for someone like me—a small retail investor—it’s just that when you click confirm, the price suddenly slips away, an NFT gets snatched by someone else first, or in blockchain games, a tool gets snatched by the “faster person.” It’s funny and frustrating. What’s more awkward is that you think you’re slow, but actually someone is just ahead of you in line. Anyway, now when I see slogans like “faster and cheaper,” I first question them: yes, it’s faster, but who’s lining up? I don’t have an answer, so I’ll just stop chasing hot topics, watch the transaction order on-chain more, and write down my pitfalls.
