Costs & Risks
Capital Burn:
Monthly costs exceed $5k (server fees + failed transaction gas).
70% of MEV attempts fail due to latency or competition.
Brutal Competition:
Top 5% of bots capture 90% of profits (Dune Analytics 2024).
Newcomer survival rate: <3% within the first year.
Defensive Tactics:
Ordinary users: Use privacy tools like Flashbots to avoid sandwich attacks.
Projects: Implement MEV-resistant mechanisms (e.g., CowSwap).
