Lately I've been seeing a lot of discussions about block builders and bundles. Honestly, I still don't fully understand all the MEV details, but as someone who just wants to earn steadily, I think retail investors only need to know this much — who is packaging your transaction, whether it's being front-run, and whether the extra gas you paid is going into someone else's pocket. It's okay if you don't understand the underlying tech, but at least check if you're using a private mempool, don't go in naked.

There are so many phishing links now, and hardware wallets are out of stock. Security awareness is a hundred times more important than understanding bundles. Anyway, my current approach: don't approve contracts I don't recognize, assume anything with ridiculously high APY is a trap, and stay away from anything with unclear term structure.

That's it for now, I'm going to work.
