Lately I keep hearing people talk about block builders and bundling, making it seem like retail traders who don’t understand will get “completely eaten up.” I feel like knowing about 70-80% is enough: the transactions you send aren’t directly going into the block, they’re first queued in the hands of a bunch of people; some will bundle several transactions together (bundle), aiming to avoid front-running or simply to have others snatch your transaction. To put it plainly, you need to remember two things: don’t publicly display large or low-liquidity pools on the chain to chase prices; either split your orders or use reliable private channels/aggregators, don’t let yourself become a target in open pools. As for who the builder is and how the ordering game works… there’s really no need to be anxious every time, just understand “I might get front-run.” Recently, the staking/token unlock calendar has been repeatedly discussed, but I actually think it’s more important to pay attention to chain congestion and slippage during those unlock days—don’t panic and slip up by chasing after transactions in a rush. That’s all for now, my mind’s a bit messy tonight.
