Arbitrage

Also written or said as: arb, arbing, arb bot, arbitrage bot

Buying in one place and selling in another to profit from a price gap.

If a coin is cheaper in one pool than in another, an arbitrage bot buys from the cheap one and sells into the dear one until the prices match. This kind of MEV is mostly harmless, and it is why the same coin shows almost the same price on every pool. A sandwich attack is a very different thing, because it profits from your trade.
