🤖 MEV Bots — How They’re Stealing Your Money Ever tried to swap tokens and noticed someone bought the same amount just before you… then dumped it right after — into your buy? Congrats — you just got lightly bot-penetrated 😈 🔹WTF is MEV? *️⃣ MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) is profit gained by reordering transactions in a block. It used to be done by miners, now it’s mostly validators and bots that scan the mempool (a public “waiting room” for pending transactions). Every time you send a transaction to a DEX, it sits there for a bit — visible to everyone. Bots sniff it, figure out how to profit from it, and sneak in transactions around yours. That’s an MEV attack. 🔸Main Types of MEV Attacks 1️⃣ Sandwich Attack (a.k.a. double penetration — yeah,I made that up. You're welcome.) Bot sees you want to buy a token for 1 ETH It buys before you (front-running) You buy → price goes up Bot sells after you at a higher price 📌 You pay more.Bot makes free profit. RIP.
