Recently, I came across discussions about MEV/ordering, and the more I read, the more it seems like "cutting in line" in real life... To put it simply, the biggest impact comes from ordinary people's small swaps: you think clicking will execute the trade, but you get sandwiched, paying more slippage and not even realizing it. Market makers/robots are obviously more sensitive, but retail investors are most likely to be the victims, thinking it's just their slow reaction.
My current old habit is: for larger amounts, split the orders, and be willing to wait a few more minutes; if your wallet has options to enable privacy/protection against sandwich attacks, turn them on—anyway, don’t compete desperately with robots. On the macro side, they’re talking about rate cut expectations and the dollar index; watching risk assets rise and fall together is quite lively, but the on-chain "queue rules" haven't changed. When things are hot, it's easier to get exploited.
I still believe that fair ordering isn’t a fantasy, it’s just progressing slowly like road construction. That’s all for now.
