Lately, I keep hearing people talk about block builders, bundles, and MEV, and it feels overwhelming for retail investors. My bottom line is: you don't need to understand how they write strategies or front-run; just knowing that "your transaction isn't fairly queued the moment you click confirm" is enough. To put it simply, the blockchain is like an auction house—someone can bundle a series of transactions into a bundle and insert it, and if the order can be optimized, your slippage and execution price could be passively affected.

So right now, I care more about two small things: first, try to use limit orders / tighten slippage to give others less "maneuvering space"; second, when looking at on-chain fund flows, if I see suddenly very orderly inflows and outflows, I first suspect that bundling is happening rather than a sudden consensus in market sentiment.

By the way, recently, the staking unlocks and token unlock schedules have been repeatedly brought up to scare people. Honestly, it's normal to feel anxious, but I also admit I envy those big players who can set up bundles in advance... We shouldn't just compete on technical skills; knowing where the risks are and not just providing liquidity is enough. That's all for now.
