Glossary / Risk & Trust
An MEV strategy where a bot places a buy before and a sell after a victim's trade, extracting the price impact as profit.
A sandwich sees a pending swap in the mempool, front-runs it with a buy (raising price), lets the victim trade at inflated price, then back-runs with a sell (capturing the impact). Loose slippage settings make sandwiches easier.
On Solana, anti-MEV RPCs (Helius, Jito bundle protection, Triton) reduce sandwich exposure by not exposing pre-confirmation transactions to public relayers.
The fastest way to internalize a term is to see it live on a Solana token you know. Paste any mint below to run a public Launch Score.
