Solana Significantly Reduces Sandwich Attacks: A Major Step Forward for Traders?

Max Resnick – Chief Economist at Anza – has just revealed some positive news: the rate of sandwich attacks on #solana has drastically decreased compared to last year.

Previously, sandwich attacks were a significant issue for Solana as its fast processing speed inadvertently enabled bad actors to 'frontrun' and 'backrun' orders, profiting from users' transactions.

At the beginning of 2024, the Jito platform had temporarily disabled the mempool to prevent sandwiching, and the Solana Foundation also aggressively removed questionable nodes from the staking program. However, these measures did not completely resolve the issue as bad actors could easily 're-emerge' with new identities.

According to Resnick, the most effective solution comes from improving Solana's core code. When the 'targeting' mechanism is optimized, the number of validators seeing each transaction significantly decreases. If a validator holds only 10% of the stake, they will only see about 10% of transactions – limiting manipulation opportunities.

Data from #ghost shows that profits from sandwich attacks on Solana have noticeably decreased in March and April 2025 compared to the same period last year, even though network revenue (REV) remained unchanged. Marinade – the largest stake pool provider – has also started penalizing validators involved in sandwich attacks through stake auctions.

These changes are expected to create a safer environment for the Solana trading community.

Investing in cryptocurrency carries high risks due to significant price volatility.

Hidden gem with potential to go 10 to 100x.

One token which no one talks about here (probably because it is not available on Binance) is Kujira (Kuji).
Kujira & the team behind it was one of the most active during Luna (before its death spiral). From the ashes of (old) Luna, Kujira came out as a new chain based on the Cosmos (Atom) blockchain.

Kujira has its own DEX fin.kujira.network.
The team is still one of the most active developer teams out there and launched quite a few unique pioneering projects that have really good potential, such as:

Unstake token(NYSK), using with you will be able to unstake your tokens without needing to wait 22days.

Orca - a project that lets you bid on your favourite tokens, to buy them at a cheaper discounted price when the market crashes and people who are leverage trading gets liquidated.

Ghost - a project where you can lend your tokens and earn interest.

USK - a stable coin for the Kujira network.

There are also other great projects under their umbrella such as Sonar (currently in beta), a wallet for the cosmos based token, etc.

Though Kuji already did a 10x not that long ago and has market capitalisation of close to 500million even before it’s listed in big centralised exchanges such as Binance or KuCoin. So it still has potential to go up 10-100x (if not 1000x).

You can see and use their products to determine their fundamentals yourself. Head to kujira.network or fin.kujira.network.

PS: THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION AND I AM AN INVESTOR IN THEIR ECHO SYSTEM. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING ANY COIN/TOKEN AS IT IS A SPECULATIVE MARKET AND THINGS MIGHT GO DOWNHILL JUST AS THEY MIGHT GO UPHILL.

ONLY INVEST MONEY YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE AND DON’T INVEST YOUR LIFESAVINGS UNTIL OR UNLESS YOU HAVE DONE YOUR RESEARCH AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
