Insomnia again, looking at large on-chain transfers, casually browsing some bundle/creator-related stuff. To be honest, retail investors don't need to research how blocks are assembled to the point of writing papers; knowing three key points is enough: the transaction you send might not be included in the block in the order it was received, but instead packed together with others; front-running/sniping often happens at this step; so avoid always using public pools for large swaps in the open, especially with high slippage, as it easily leads to paying tuition on the spot.

Recently, during airdrop season, task platforms are cracking down on anti-snipe measures and implementing point systems, while the yield farmers are working as if they’re at a job... The more frequently and mechanically you operate, the clearer your “behavior profile” on-chain becomes, making it easier to be targeted. Anyway, my current principle is simple: for important transactions, try to use private/protected routes, small amounts are fine; don’t force what you don’t understand, do less, make fewer mistakes. That’s all for now, I’m going to work.
