Just watched an on-chain packaged block. The sorter pushed a certain meme’s buy before it, and the slippage was immediately set to 3%. Every sell order was placed at the back. Where’s the promised fairness? In reality, it’s just on-chain queue-jumping—jumping into your wallet.

Lately, data tools have been getting complained about for being laggy, and even the labeling can’t tell clearly whether it’s “smart money” or a “script”… Sometimes I really doubt it—those who push “transparency,” are they just changing the way so you can’t see the undercurrent?

Anyway, my own approach: don’t chase head miners. Use an RPC with protections against MEV, and if you can dodge it, dodge it. In the on-chain world, being a second slower is sometimes protection.
