Recently, there's been more debate about the MEV "front-running" strategy: honestly, it's not about who is smarter, but who is closer to the ordering. When ordinary people swap tokens, they already suffer from slippage, and being squeezed further makes the transaction price even worse; LPs also passively bear this noise, appearing not to lose on paper, but in reality, they've had some small margins taken away. Not to mention some strategies specifically target small pools and low liquidity, affecting those with the least bargaining power.

The cross-chain bridge has had issues again these days, and everyone's first reaction is "don't move yet, wait for confirmation," which is quite similar to the oracle anomaly incident: unstable price feeds, delayed updates, and even with strong on-chain consensus, everyone just collectively plays dead. Unfair ordering + unreliable price feeds, no matter how beautiful the contracts are, are useless... I'm off to work.
