Sandwich attack

Also written or said as: sandwich, sandwiched, sandwich bot, sandwiching

A bot buys just before your trade and sells just after it, taking a cut of your money.

The bot sees your buy waiting, buys first to push the price up, lets your buy fill at that worse price, then sells into the higher price your buy created. Your loss is the bot's profit. High slippage settings invite it, so keep slippage tight and prefer apps that offer MEV protection.
