Recently, the terms like blockchain builders and bundles have been brought up again to scare people. Honestly, retail investors don’t need to turn themselves into researchers. All you need to know is: when you click “swap/transfer,” it might not be recorded on the chain in the order you expect; someone might bundle, cut in line, or sneak in between, especially when slippage is too high or the pool is too shallow. My bottom line is threefold: don’t set excessively high slippage; use reliable private routing/anti-front-running tools when possible (not to understand the principles, but to avoid getting hit too often); for large amounts, don’t force your way into hot pools. Recently, the AI agent automated trading wave is even more obvious, with narratives being hyped up, but the more automated on-chain interactions become, the easier it is to treat “authorization/signature” as air… Anyway, I’d rather go slower now, align the data first, then execute, to pay less tuition.
