Staring at the on-chain data for ages, I realized this round of MEV bots doing front-running is truly an art… It feels like someone suddenly cuts in line at the market—right when you’re about to buy a cabbage, the stuff in front gets bundled into ten bunches (bitter smile). Lately, I keep hearing this new narrative about “modular blockchains.” Developers are hyping it up like crazy, and we normal users only care about whether “the queue is fairer now”—but somehow, it still doesn’t seem to be, huh?

Anyway, I’ve been playing NFTs and chain games recently. I’d rather follow the slow, plodding community crowd than hedge against snipers. Someone turns on-chain ordering into a utopia in their story, but in my day-to-day life it’s just an upgrade to the market rules: they add cameras and volunteers, but the people who cut in line still manage to find new ways in. That’s fine—this whole muddy mess is all just material. Next time, I’m planning to make a little skit called “Pixel Chick Who Cuts in Line,” and I’ll stop here for now.
