Recently, I've been looking into the MEV "front-running" issue again. Honestly, it's not just about someone stealing someone else's money; it's more about how the trading experience for ordinary users becomes very awkward: you think you're lining up in order, but others squeeze past you from in front, and the costs of slippage, failures, and repeated retries are all borne by retail traders. For someone like me with a wallet divided into many small parts, what I fear most isn't losing money, but seeing a bunch of fragmented gas and failure records in the ledger—it's just annoying to look at.



Now, everyone compares on-chain yield products with RWA (Real-World Assets) and US bond yields. I can understand the desire to find "more stable" options, but if the ordering process remains opaque, even the best returns feel like walking on stones under a carpet—uncomfortable and unsettling. I see myself more as someone slowly watching the traffic lights at an intersection, rather than thinking I can always be one step ahead just by front-running... Anyway, I prefer to break down transactions into smaller parts, chase fewer hot trends, and avoid rushing to grab opportunities whenever possible.
