Lately, monitoring on-chain transactions has been giving me a headache… Someone said "Sandwich/arbitrage is an opportunity," but now I feel more like I’m paying transaction fees for others: you click a swap, and in just two transactions, you’ve eaten up all the slippage. Honestly, you think you’re catching volatility, but you’re actually giving a red envelope to the bots.

The main chain just upgraded/underwent maintenance, and the community is starting to speculate about a major migration. I’m not betting on the narrative for now; if I really do anything, it’ll be small-scale testing, pushing the slippage to the limit, and slowly dividing across addresses. I’ll also make sure to calculate gas and failure costs clearly. The main chain might not win, but at least don’t become a tool for the chives on the side… That’s all for now.
