I just came across a post about sandwich attacks, and only then did I realize that many of the on-chain “arbitrage opportunities” I usually see are actually other people eating your slippage… kind of late to the party.

Before, when I saw how aggressively everyone on the testnet was farming points, I even wondered why so many people were rushing to be “test users”; now that I think about it, they might have been practicing how to sandwich transactions in advance. 😂

Anyway, since I’m a slow starter, I’ll just first map out the concepts clearly. Guessing how tokens will be issued on the mainnet is pointless—first, I need to understand how not to be treated as (paid as) fees. 😂
