Research Summary: Analyzing and Preventing Sandwich Attacks in Ethereum

@Ulysses yes tried and proven;

Placing a limit order is the simplest technique to avoid being sandwiched. Users can specify their fill price as opposed to standard market orders, which are prone to slippage.

While previously only possible on centralized exchanges, DEXs like Spiritswap and 1inch now support this.

On a variety of networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrium, and others, it enables users to set predetermined exchange prices. Even though there can be more costs involved, it is worthwhile for bigger trades.

I learn that Flashbot can be used to stop sandwiches.

Using the Flashbots RPC is another option to secure your transactions. It omits the public mempool in order to deliver transactions directly to miners, adding an additional layer of security.

While it’s currently in public beta, some of its benefits include the ability to guard against bots and the lack of a fee for unsuccessful transactions.

Final Thoughts

Sandwich bots and MEV may be unethical, but they undoubtedly demonstrate Web3’s transparency. However, techniques to extract value, such time bandit and uncle block assaults, are keeping up with security.

Although many people are still unaware of this hidden tax on their transactions, new techniques to protect against them are always being developed as growing pains.

Therefore, it’s crucial to constantly warn Web3 users not only about bots but also about phishing, frauds, and other threats. It could also be time to consider whether the costs and benefits of the trade-offs between security and decentralization are worthwhile.

I hope this meets up to your question?
