Recently I’ve seen new L1/L2 incentives to boost TVL again, and in the group, people are rushing to do it while complaining "mining and selling"... I admit I’m a bit envious; others are running circles around me, while I’m still picking apart details in the browser. But honestly, you think you’re arbitraging, sometimes you’re just paying fees for sandwich attacks: you place an order, route it through a popular pool, and the next second, the transaction price is “enthusiastically” pushed up. Now I prefer to check if the trade is being sandwiched (two transactions in the same block, similar amounts, slippage fully eaten) before deciding whether to chase; otherwise, I don’t know if I made a profit or not, and I’ve already paid gas and slippage. Anyway, I’d rather do less than become someone’s lunch money.
