By keeping your trade value below roughly **$10,000** and slippage under **0.5%**, you become unprofitable to sandwich. The gas cost vs. profit ratio doesn't work in their favor. ### ๐ŸŽฎ REAL-TIME MEV ACTIVITY MAP: ``` CHAIN | 24H EXTRACTED | HOTTEST POOLS ---------|---------------|--------------- Ethereum | $18.5M | USDC/ETH, PEPE/ETH BSC | $8.2M | BNB/USDT, CAKE/BNB Arbitrum | $4.1M | ARB/ETH, GMX/ETH ``` ## ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ THE ULTIMATE ANTI-MEV CHECKLIST: โœ… Use private mempools (Flashbots Protect) โœ… Break trades under $10K chunks โœ… Avoid trading during volatility spikes โœ… Set slippage to exactly 0.49% โœ… Use intent-based protocols (CowSwap, 1inch Fusion) โœ… Monitor MEV activity on eigenphi.io before large trades ## ๐Ÿง  GALAXY BRAIN MOVE: Some DeFi chads are now **running their own MEV bots** to sandwich their own transactions, effectively recovering their own MEV. If you can't beat them... --- **The harsh truth?** Every unprotected swap you make is feeding a sophisticated network of predators. In 2024 alone, over $1.2 BILLION will be extracted from regular traders. Don't be exit liquidity. Be the liquidity that exits safely. ๐ŸŽฏ *Drop a ๐Ÿ”ฅ if you've been sandwiched before.
