These days, I’ve been sandwich-attacked on the chain a few times again. Honestly, you think you’ve found an arbitrage opportunity, but most of the time you’re just paying others’ transaction fees... Now I wait for confirmation, a pullback, and also think carefully before placing an order: Is this really an “opportunity,” or am I just cooperating with others to complete the route.

Especially with new L1/L2 incentives boosting TVL, it’s lively, but old users complaining about arbitrage and selling pressure isn’t without reason. When incentives start, arbitrage bots rush in like a market day, and a slight slippage can wipe out all the profit. Anyway, I don’t really buy into slogans; I’d rather go slower, make fewer trades, and at least avoid those “sure-win” looking orders that are actually the easiest to manipulate.
