Scrolling through and saw someone say that on-chain labeling systems are getting less and less accurate—those witch addresses can’t be detected after they just change their skin. Suddenly it occurred to me that MEV is the same as well—

Those “queue-jumping” bots—you think monitoring tools can catch them? They’ve already cycled through contract addresses several rounds ago. Regular users can’t see who’s front-running in the mempool anyway. Once the transaction is on-chain, the ordering is already set, and the extra gas you pay is just for feeding the dogs.

I’m used to it. For big transactions, I’d rather split them into a few parts and let them go through slowly, like repotting succulents—you can’t rush it. Sometimes when I see the gas spike climb, I actually feel more at ease: it means the robots are fighting again, and they won’t pay attention to my little trade.
