Lately I've been looking at on-chain transaction records again, and it really feels like "waiting in line to buy bubble tea and someone cuts in line." MEV (Miner Extractable Value, basically who gets in front and who gets behind to scoop up some profit) often doesn't affect the big players' transactions, but rather small orders like ours: a little more slippage, slower execution, even when setting a price, getting front-run, the experience is really poor.

What's even more annoying is that now AI Agents are doing automated trading and interactions, the narrative is loud, but who’s really paying attention to security... granting a bunch of permissions, scripts running wild, and front-runners are getting smarter, while ordinary users become more passive. Anyway, I’m just honestly keeping track of my accounts, revoking permissions on schedule, and grabbing some shells when I can—don’t try to race the waves.
