Lately, I keep hearing people talk about blockchain builders, bundles, MEV, and so on. At first, I was a bit panicked, feeling like if I didn't understand, I would get "eaten." But honestly, as a retail investor, it's enough to know how to protect yourself: understand that the transaction you send may not be included in the block in the order you see, and during peak times, you're more likely to be front-run or sandwiched; don't chase slippage and click wildly in the same pool, it's better to go slower, split your transactions, or wait until the chain is less busy before acting. As for how bundles are assembled or how builders game the system, that's a different world, and studying it seriously takes a lot of effort. Recently, the staking/token unlock calendar has been brought up repeatedly, and sure, there's some anxiety, but what I care more about is "don't force your way through when it's crowded." Anyway, what I've learned isn't tricks, but rather to position myself in a way that's less likely to cause trouble.
