Lately, I keep seeing complaints that validators make too much money and that MEV makes ordering unfair. Honestly, that's normal—on the chain, some people are simply closer to the "front of the line." But retail investors really don't need to memorize all the builder and bundle strategies. I think knowing three things is enough: the transaction you send isn't necessarily ordered by the time you click send; large swaps and hot minting trends are more easily front-run; some wallets/routes use private channels for packing, and it just looks like "why am I always a step behind." My approach is pretty simple: try to use routes with anti-front-running features, don't go all-in during congestion, and before executing on-chain, take a quick look at the mempool or recent similar transactions to see how they failed—this can avoid 80% of the trouble. The remaining 20% is just paying tuition; after all, no one can always be first.
