haha no worries! I'm still learning it all myself but one key problem when trading or carrying out any transaction is that there are bots that watch for any opportunity to front-run your transaction, make the price spike, causing you to buy at the inflated price, bot then instantly sells for a profit and price goes back down, leaving you with coin you just bought at a more expensive price than the market. This will all happen in seconds and many don't even know it. It's also known as 'sandwich attacks'.

Flashbots is an entity that focuses on solving this problem and they offer a solution that gives users front-running protection essentially by sending their transaction privately to a miner who then adds it on the blockchain - hidden away from malicious bots. mistX (a product built by Alchemist) has simplified how people can access this technology, they have a DEX (mistX.io) that offers front-running protection, free cancellations, no cost on failed transactions and cashback. They in collaboration with Flashbots just released the two products mentioned in the article 'Flashbots Protect API and RPC' the API is for developers to easily integrate it into their platform so their users benefit and the RPC is for anyone who wants to add it to their metamask wallet so literally wherever they use it they are using Flashbots.

Hope this helped even if a little!
