Recently, I've been watching that pile of "queue jumping" on the chain, basically meaning someone pays to buy priority, grabbing the opportunity to scoop your liquidity first. It’s not really about the “fairness concept,” but about ordinary people slipping points, transaction prices, and the illusion that clicking market order will let you execute immediately. MEV is quite annoying for someone like me who does perpetual contracts; when the spot gets squeezed, the index swings, and no matter how strict your position management is, emotional trading can make you laugh out loud.

What’s more embarrassing is that everyone criticizes it but also defaults to “that’s just how it is on the chain.” Recently, before and after the upgrade of that mainstream public chain, the group chat has been guessing whether projects will migrate. I think whether they migrate or not, they can’t escape the issue of ordering; at most, they just move somewhere else to be queue jumped again. My approach is very simple: if I can set a limit price, I do; I’d rather take a smaller loss than pay tuition to bots.
