Recently, people keep asking me: Should retail investors learn about blockchain builders, bundles, and these things to be able to give lectures? I feel like it's really unnecessary. Just remember one thing: the swap you send out is not "directly on the chain"; it might be bundled, front-run, or routed through other paths. Being quick doesn't mean it arrives first, and widening the slippage doesn't mean it's stable. Knowing this layer is enough for you to take two extra steps when placing an order: try to use private/anti-front-running channels, don’t blindly trust default routing, check the estimated worst-case price before the trade, and don’t expose yourself just to save a little gas.

Additionally, the on-chain data tools and tagging systems are criticized for being laggy or misleading, and I resonate with that: don’t get excited if you see "a certain address = a certain institution." Many tags are added after the fact, and some are even deliberately fed false signals. You can use them as a reference, but relying on them as a steering wheel can easily lead to a crash… Anyway, I personally focus more on the transaction path and reasons for failure, rather than "stories."

That’s all for now.
