🚨 Warning to Traders: MEV Sandwich Attacks Are Real 🚨
A crypto trader recently lost over $215,000 to an MEV sandwich attack while swapping stablecoins.
🔍 What happened?
~$220,764 worth of USDC was swapped
The trader received only ~$5,271 USDT
The transaction was front-run by an MEV bot within seconds
⚠️ Key takeaway: Even stablecoin swaps are NOT risk-free on public mempools.
🛡️ How to protect yourself:
Always set strict slippage limits
Avoid large swaps in low-liquidity pools
Consider using private RPCs / MEV-protected transactions
Split large trades into smaller transactions
Double-check routes before confirming swaps
📢 Stay alert. MEV bots don’t discriminate — they target size, not token type.
