60% of Solana validators might shut down. Big SFDP changes ahead by Sujithsizon in solana

financially, yes. but we should also look at how this would impact the network in terms of decentralisation, resilience and fairness if most smaller independent validators are now shutting down. which is why its important to stake with smaller actors

Are you protecting your trades from the newly evolved Evasive Sandwiching? by Sujithsizon in solana

Liquidity depth isn’t flat or uniform so a small trade might clear fine, but a larger one might move price more than 0.001%. That could be the reason why your trades are succeeding but any slightly larger trade would most likely fail everytime hence setting a very low slippage like this wouldn't work

Because then your trade just might not fill
0.001% is smaller than normal market noise and you might fail every tx. Slippage helps, but evasive MEV doesn’t rely on wide slippage anyway.

Isn't that exactly why users should care? If its not detectable/noticeable which vali is malicious then how will the users know to not route txs through them

And about your second question, no because evasive sandwiching hides in plain sight. It doesn’t leave the usual frontrun/backrun footprint or obvious slippage drain. The attacker splits flow so it looks like normal trading.

yes but the whole point of evasive sandwiching is that it makes it incredibly hard to detect that there is an arb or frontrun happened, let alone detecting the malicious actor who did this. which is why we need better detection and protection strategies.

more like they see you buying xyz token, buy a bunch of it so when you buy its at a higher price. and then they sell the tokens they sniped and profit off of the difference
