Recently, everyone has been arguing about MEV and fair ordering, and my first reaction is: on-chain, it’s also not immune to “cutting in line.” Frankly, the biggest impact isn’t from those who can write bot scripts, but from ordinary people clicking swap or mint, clearly pressing confirm, only to have their transaction price slippage teach them a lesson, causing their mood to explode.

What’s more embarrassing is that some projects like to tout “fair launch,” but if you don’t keep an eye on the ordering, it can quietly turn into “who’s better at sniping.” Then I see Layer 2s arguing over TPS, fees, ecosystem subsidies… In reality, besides cheaper and faster, users care more about “am I just being used as a background for liquidity and transaction fees again?” Anyway, I’d rather be a bit slower now, and I hope I don’t keep getting treated like a fool.
