I just turned off my MEV monitoring script… If you watch it for too long, you can start to get paranoid. Honestly, what do retail traders really need to know about “block builders/bundles”—to what extent is enough? I think it comes down to two points: first, your transaction isn’t going straight into a miner’s pocket; in the middle, it may get bundled into a big batch and travel along with other people’s transactions. Second, you might get front-run or sandwiched, especially if your slippage tolerance is set too high or you’re chasing trending trades. As for the rest—who exactly is colluding with whom, which builder, which relay—there’s really no need to memorize the terminology. Just understand the risks: use limit orders/keep slippage small, don’t force your way into pools with thin liquidity, and if necessary, split your trades into batches. The recent uproar over NFT royalties is also quite similar: everyone wants to “follow the rules,” but in the end, whoever can get executions to go more smoothly and faster wins… Anyway, I’ll just think of it as adding a little spice to noodles—if it’s edible, that’s enough.
