If someone pays more Gas fees to bribe the miners to adjust the order of transactions in the transaction pool and make a profit. There is a MEV method called “sandwich attack” or “trap attack”. This method of extracting MEV is by monitoring large DEX transactions on the chain. For example, someone wants to buy altcoins worth $1 million on Uniswap, and this A transaction will increase the price of this altcoin a lot. When this transaction is put into the mempool, the monitoring robot can detect this transaction. At this time, the robot will bribe the miner who packaged this block to send a The operation of buying this altcoin jumps in front of this person, and then performs a sell operation after this person’s purchase operation, just like a sandwich, sandwiching this person who conducts large DEX transactions in the middle, thus launching a “sandwich” The person who “attacked” obtained altcoins from it because the person made a large-scale transaction to pull the profit, while the person who made the large-value transaction caused losses.
