Last week, I placed an on-chain limit order, and MEV bots repeatedly sniped it three times in a row. The slippage was about twice as bad as expected—honestly, pretty speechless. To be real, “ordering fairness” is basically a false proposition for us retail traders. Miners and validators make money from this, and you can’t really say they’re wrong—it's just that the reality is pretty disgusting. Anyway, after that, I only dared to place orders when the liquidity pools were deep, avoiding those high-gas periods. In the data, it does look like the proportion of MEV extraction is increasing. But as much as I complain, I have to admit it’s part of the on-chain game theory. That’s it for now—just muddle through and keep playing.
