MEV Attacks like Sandwiching Are Still Rampant

Recently, a malicious actor exploited a Uniswap V3 swap with 100% slippage settings by front-running and back-running the transaction. This "sandwich attack" extracted value without any risk to the attacker, leaving users with significant losses.

The Problem with Public Order Books

In decentralized finance (DeFi), public order books expose your transactions to malicious actors who can observe and manipulate them for profit.

Transparency Becomes Vulnerability

Public order books in DeFi platforms reveal your transaction details, allowing malicious actors to observe and exploit your trades before they're executed.

Betting Platforms at Risk

Similar risks exist in betting platforms and prediction markets, where high-stakes bets can be front-run to skew odds or manipulate the order book.

Trust Compromised

These vulnerabilities compromise fairness, determinism, and user trust in the system, leading to financial losses and market inefficiencies.
