Recently, people keep asking me whether retail investors need to understand blockchain builders, bundles, and these concepts. To put it simply, don’t push yourself to become a researcher.

All you need to know is this: when you click “market price/ chase price,” it’s not necessarily matched with the order book you see; it could be bundled, jumped in line, bypassed, or the slippage suddenly increases, or even if the price hasn’t moved, you might get eaten a little. These experiences are related to that.
Even more detailed things like builder ecosystems, auction processes… I also find them overwhelming. My intra-day mental cache is just this limited.

My simple understanding is: don’t place large orders when your emotions are at their peak; don’t blindly trust certain on-chain tagging tools to label “smart money” (recently they’ve been criticized for lag and even misleading); if you really want to look, treat it as a reference, not gospel.
Use limit orders when possible, split orders, wait a bit, and if it feels wrong, turn off your computer and go for a walk.

What I’ve learned isn’t techniques, but: admit that you can’t see that part of the road, and hold onto the few steps you can control.
