What problem does it solve?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks reorder, include, or exclude blockchain transactions to extract profit at the expense of traders, causing worse execution prices than expected.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Explain MEV attack types: Covers sandwich attacks, frontrunning, backrunning, JIT liquidity, and time-bandit attacks in clear, user-facing terms.
- Recommend practical defenses: Guides users toward low slippage, private transaction submission (e.g., Flashbots Protect), DEX aggregators, and gasless limit orders to reduce or eliminate MEV exposure.
- Help detect suspicious patterns: Identifies likely sandwich/arbitrage behavior by examining transaction timing, price impact, and repeated addresses around the target swap.
- Use Case: A user planning a large token swap can follow the guide to reduce sandwich risk by lowering slippage, using a private relay, and/or routing through an aggregator, then validating the outcome against expected vs actual received amounts.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to generate a MEV protection plan for my DEX swap, including recommended slippage settings, private relay options, and how to detect sandwich indicators after execution.
