Lately, being on the blockchain and dealing with MEV "front-running" has been a bit annoying… To be honest, it’s not just about punishing the "fast traders," but more like siphoning off ordinary users' slippage, failed transaction fees, and even emotional stress. You think you’re executing a trade by pressing a button, but during those few seconds of packaging, others see what you’re about to do first, then they change the order, easily pushing you to the back.

The biggest impact is actually on those who make small, frequent transactions: swapping tokens, adding to positions, quickly selling after getting an airdrop. When transaction fees and failure rates pile up, the experience feels like being constantly choked. Anyway, I’d rather go slower now, split my trades, use limit orders when possible, and be more diligent about revoking wallet permissions… If the returns are unstable, so be it. At least I’m not constantly paying "front-running fees" as a charity.

By the way, I want to complain about the recent narratives that tie together ETF fund flows, U.S. stock market risk appetite, and crypto price swings. It makes me more cautious: when macro sentiment shifts, this "highest bid wins" game on-chain can amplify volatility more easily. Forget it, I’ll just focus on keeping my account healthy—there’s not much else I can really control.
