Last night before bed, I was scrolling through on-chain and saw a swap right after I clicked confirm. The next second, I got “sandwiched.” To put it plainly, I thought I was getting the good part—turns out it was just adding fees for someone else… Arbitrage can look like an opportunity, but in many cases it’s actually that other people are faster, more ruthless, and better at queuing. Now there are more AI Agent/auto-trading stuff out there touting “freeing up your hands,” but I think what’s really being freed is their hands. When it comes to security, you still have to keep an eye on yourself: don’t let slippage get too high, and don’t click random unknown contracts. Anyway, for someone impulsive like me, the thing most worth “arbitraging” is my own reaction speed and greed.
