Sandwich attacks (also called MEV/maximal extractable value exploitation) occur when attackers see pending transactions (mempool), place their own before/after to extract value. Example: front-run a swap, then back-run to sell. Prevention involves private mempools (dark pools), threshold encryption, MEV-resistant consensus, and transaction ordering commitments. Critical for DEXs, blockchain protocols, and trading systems. Learnable in 6–8 weeks with blockchain fundamentals. Salaries $150K–$220K+ for blockchain security engineers. Overlaps with cryptography, smart contracts, and protocol design.

Sandwich Attack Prevention maali?

A sandwich attack is a form of MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) exploitation where an attacker observes a pending transaction in the mempool, front-runs it (places a transaction before), profits from the price movement, then back-runs it (places a transaction after). Example: Attacker sees user swapping 1 ETH for USDC, front-runs with a swap to drive up USDC price, watches user execute at worse price, then sells USDC for profit. Prevention strategies include:

What exactly is a sandwich attack?
Attacker sees a pending swap (e.g., buy ETH) in the mempool, front-runs it (buys first, raising price), then back-runs it (sells after you buy at higher price). Attacker profits; you lose.
How much can an attacker extract?
Varies. Typical MEV: 0.1–10% of transaction value. In high-volume DEXs (Uniswap v2), extractors make millions weekly.
What's MEV?
Maximal Extractable Value, profit extracted by reordering, inserting, or censoring transactions. Sandwich attacks are one form of MEV exploitation.
Does threshold encryption prevent sandwich attacks?
Partially. If transactions are encrypted until block finalization, front-runners can't see them. But threshold encryption is computationally expensive; trade-offs exist.
Do L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism) have sandwich attack risk?
Yes, but less visible (longer block times, centralized sequencers). Risk increases as L2s decentralize.
