I just saw someone ask, "To what extent should retail investors understand about block builders, bundles, and these things," and I feel… there's no need to push yourself to become a researcher. Basically, just remember: the transactions you send may not be included in the block in the order you click the buttons; someone might bundle a bunch of transactions together and insert them to front-run you, sandwich you, or just snatch some profit. The two most practical tips for retail investors are: first, don't make a big splash in a liquidity-scarce pool; slippage that’s too large is like sending out an invitation; second, for large swaps or trading meme coins, try to use channels or routes that allow "private order placement," so at least you don’t expose your intentions to everyone publicly. As for who the block builders are and how bidding works… just get a rough idea, don’t be scared by the terminology. Currently, the airdrop season tasks on the platform are so competitive, it’s like clocking in for work, but I’d rather save time and avoid getting front-run once than do three more tasks. You ask, "Do I need to learn how to read the mempool"… I’ll say this first: honestly, it’s not really necessary.
