Lately I keep hearing people talk about blockchain builders, bundles, MEV, and it’s starting to sound more like mysticism. Honestly, retail investors don’t need to chase after the level of “who packed each transaction.” My personal threshold is: knowing that transactions aren’t necessarily executed in the order you confirm them, that there are front-runners and snipers on the chain, that some routing wallets will bundle transactions and send them to auctions, so don’t set too high a slippage when liquidity is thin, don’t blindly chase gains or drops all at once, split your trades if possible, set limit orders if you can. I won’t go deeper into explanations… accepting randomness and controlling your hands is more valuable than understanding all the terminology.

Additionally, now RWA, US bond yields, and on-chain yield products are often compared together. I find it tempting but remind myself: behind the yields, it’s often a game of “who saw it first, who packed it first,” so don’t treat it like bank deposits with guaranteed certainty. Anyway, I follow the wave pattern, and my model just helps me avoid impulsiveness.
