Just woke up and checked the blockchain, saw someone complaining again about MEV front-running being unfair. To put it simply, the biggest affected group is still small investors: you place a swap expecting it to be processed in order, but instead you're squeezed, slippage hits hard, and the money ends up as a "queue fee." Market makers and scavenging bots obviously say it's about efficiency and price discovery... fine, anyway, the costs are ultimately borne by the most emotionally unstable group.



Recently, the testnet incentives seem pretty similar: everyone rushes for points, guessing whether the mainnet will issue tokens, essentially betting on "who can squeeze into the queue first." Do you say on-chain ordering can be completely fair? I don't know, it feels like as long as block producers can still pick transactions, fairness will always be just a word written into proposals. That's all for now.
