MEV (Miner/Maximal Extractable Value) is about how transaction ordering can affect outcomes. In simple terms: someone can sometimes profit by seeing your transaction before it’s finalized.
Where you’ll notice it
- Swaps with low liquidity or tight slippage.
- Copy-traded or highly popular token pools.
- Transactions that move a lot of value in one go.
Practical protections
Use reasonable slippage, avoid moving huge amounts at once, and consider routing/limit options when available. If a swap fails, don’t rush—recheck price impact and pool health.
Mindset
Treat every DEX swap as “probabilistic”. You can improve odds, but you can’t remove uncertainty completely.
Not financial advice.
