Recently, watching those "queue jumping" on the blockchain actually feels quite similar to real-life queuing: you think transactions are processed in order, but someone slips in a tip and pushes ahead. Frankly, the biggest impact isn't on the small arbitrage gains of bots, but on ordinary users who just want to do a swap or set up a mint, only to find their slippage inexplicably larger and their transaction prices worse, and they mistakenly think they're unlucky. Not to mention some of the sorting tricks—who goes first and who goes later is completely opaque, making the idea of fairness a bit awkward.

Then Layer 2 now constantly compares TPS, fees, and subsidies, arguing loudly, but who controls the sorting rights and how to constrain them, no one really wants to discuss in detail… Anyway, I, as a bear market lurker, just watch coldly. I talk about decentralization, but I still have to protect myself first.

Tonight, I’ll revoke the authorizations of a few old dApps to avoid being easily exploited again someday.
