🧠 90 million arbitrage transactions, 143 million SOL earnings: Did you still think on-chain arbitrage was just a legend?
Last year, the number of MEV arbitrage transactions recorded on Solana exceeded 90 million,
These arbitrage bots collectively earned 143 million SOL, worth about $380 million.
I’m not just saying this to impress you; this is on-chain data released by Jito Labs.
These arbitrages are genuinely extracted from "slippage, rhythm, structure,"
not from calling out trades, not from gambling, but by understanding the logic of money flow on-chain.
I also engage in MEV, just on a smaller scale,
my strategy involves monitoring slippage + determining front-run buy orders, then doing reverse arbitrage.
Many people ask me:
"Can MEV really make money? Is it only for the big players?"
My answer is:
Yes, it can make money, but you need to choose the right position, strategy, and timing.
🔍 The logic of making money through MEV arbitrage is actually quite simple:
Someone places an order too large, slippage is too wide → Price discrepancy occurs
Bots see through it instantly, pre-packaging transactions for the blockchain
Taking advantage of Solana's speed and low fees, they snatch away this "price difference"
Every day, someone gets eaten by slippage because they placed an order too hastily or chased prices too aggressively,
You might think you just lost a bit on fees,
but some people rely on this, earning 100 million SOL one order at a time.
Now, the MEV ecosystem on Solana is no longer a "mysterious technology,"
Jito, GooseFX, Meteora all have mature solutions,
Those performing well have even started running LRT to front-run unstaking path arbitrage.
It's okay if you don’t understand the strategies,
but at least you should know what’s happening on-chain right now.
I share a little bit of real trading thoughts every day,
not to flaunt returns, but to hope you won’t be passively that "arbitraged order" anymore.
Sometimes it's not that you lost; it's just that you let others make money.
