Lately, I keep seeing people talk about "block builders/bundles" as if it's some kind of mysticism, saying retail investors don't understand and will just get caught in the trap... I think it's not that complicated. The two main points you really need to remember are: first, avoid paths that expose your intentions to the pool where others can front-run you (especially large transactions or with too much slippage); second, if you see the transaction price inexplicably getting worse, don't assume you're slow—it's probably because the trade was "re-queued" somewhere along the way. But don't go overboard researching builder lists or MEV maps unless you're doing large on-chain interactions daily, as the cost-benefit isn't worth it. On a side note, recently AI agents for automated trading are hyped up, but the truly reliable ones are those that focus on permissions, signatures, and revoking authorizations... Honestly, don't be afraid of not understanding the terminology; be more worried about handing your wallet to a "convenience" script without checking what it actually asks you to sign.
