I've been lurking in the group chat for a long time, and seeing discussions about block builders, bundles, and all kinds of "inside links," I can't help but say: retail investors really don't need to push themselves to become half-engineers. You probably only need to know two points — first, your submitted transactions may not be included in the block on a "first come, first served" basis; they might be bundled together and inserted all at once; second, the slippage and transaction order you see are sometimes not due to your shaky hands, but because someone is inserting themselves before or after you (in other words, being sandwiched).
There's no need to be overly mystical about how to respond: don't rush into low-liquidity pools, don't chase gains or cut losses during the chain's busiest times, and when necessary, use protected order placement methods or slightly higher fees — at least don't expose yourself to being easily sandwiched. As for the recent speculation about whether projects will migrate before and after the mainstream public chain upgrades... I feel it's more of an emotional play; whether they really migrate or not depends on users and actual transaction volume. If no one uses the migrated chain, it's pointless. Anyway, I prefer to watch the data first and not shout along with the crowd.
