Lately, I've been browsing on-chain records, and the more I look, the more I feel that "cutting in line" is quite mystical: you think you just clicked a swap, but then a few transactions before and after get snatched away, and the slippage feels like a breath stolen... Frankly, the biggest impact is still on retail investors and small pools, with smaller capital sizes, getting hurt easily.

I now generally avoid competing for the front row on hot topics; I prefer to execute more slowly, and I make sure to keep authorization and wallets separate, to reduce the chance for bots to take advantage.
But don’t be too idealistic—who holds the sorting power makes it hard to fully ensure fairness.
By the way, recently, before and after the main chain upgrade/maintenance, everyone has been guessing whether projects will migrate or not. I’ve instead first revoked all cross-chain and contract authorizations, so that when the chain gets messy and the queues get chaotic, people won’t get caught up in the chaos...
That’s all for now.
