Recently, people keep asking me "Do you need to understand blockchain builders and bundling?" I think retail investors really don't need to force themselves to become researchers... To put it simply, knowing two things is enough: the transactions you send may not be confirmed on the chain exactly at the moment you click confirm, and someone might be "packing" transactions in the middle, possibly bundling a series of transactions into a block; the second is that this will affect your slippage, transaction order, and sometimes it even feels like someone is stealing a step ahead of you. Don't get caught up in the technical details, just remember: when dealing with large swaps or low liquidity, don't go all-in, don't set slippage too small, and use reliable wallets/routes if possible—that will keep your mindset much better.
Recently, with some places tightening taxes and compliance, everyone's deposit and withdrawal expectations have become more sensitive, and I see more people rushing to complete transactions. The more this happens, the easier it is to be caught by your own speed. Anyway, I treat it like a coffee cup: during peak times, don't chase orders, take it slow, and avoid many mishaps.
