Recently, I've been looking into that MEV "front-running" thing, which basically means whoever can get their transaction into the block first can snatch some liquidity. The biggest victims are not usually the whales, but people like us who casually swap tokens on-chain or use small pools: slippage suddenly increases, the execution price inexplicably shifts, it feels like a few bucks are quietly taken from your pocket. It’s not a lot per transaction, but doing it multiple times gets pretty annoying.
What's more interesting is that these days, everyone is watching the staking unlocks and token unlock schedules, worried about sell pressure. But when it actually comes time to execute on-chain, they get hit with "ordering" taxes first... The source of anxiety isn’t just one thing. Anyway, next time I do a large swap, I might split it into smaller parts—prefer to go slow than become a target. How do you usually avoid this kind of front-running?
