Recently, people keep asking how much retail investors need to understand about block builders, bundles, and so on. To be honest, just don't push yourself to become a researcher. Just remember one thing: when you click "Exchange/Buy/Sell," it doesn't necessarily go into a block immediately; it might be bundled or front-run, and setting slippage and fees too aggressively can lead to losses. Usually, I do two small things: try to use reliable wallets/routers, and avoid chasing trades during network congestion; split large amounts into several transactions to leave some room for yourself.
In the group, there have been recent discussions about stablecoin regulation, reserve audits, and de-pegging rumors. I see everyone's emotions are like a storm warning... Actually, the more these situations happen, the less you should panic. First, confirm the source of information, then decide whether to act. Anyway, my current principle is: understand where the risks come from and avoid obvious pitfalls, and leave the rest to time.
