🔍 Understanding Sandwich Attacks in DeFi Ever wondered how attackers exploit transactions in decentralized exchanges? Let’s break down the Sandwich Attack: 🚨 How It Works: 1️⃣ A victim submits a BUY transaction to the mempool. 2️⃣ An attacker detects this and submits two transactions: BUY with a higher gas fee (to front-run the victim). SELL with a lower gas fee (to back-run the victim). 3️⃣ The block producer orders these transactions based on gas fees. 4️⃣ The attacker’s BUY increases the token price. The victim’s BUY executes at a higher price near the slippage limit. 5️⃣ The attacker’s SELL finalizes, profiting from the price increase caused by the victim's transaction. 💡 Result: The victim pays more, while the attacker profits. What are your thoughts on combating sandwich attacks?
