Recently, I keep hearing people talk about block builders, bundles, making it seem like if you don’t understand, you’ll get “completely taken advantage of.” Honestly, retail investors just need to know that “trades don’t enter blocks strictly in the order you click, and someone can pack and insert orders out of turn.” Going deeper into who each builder is or how they negotiate deals isn’t cost-effective and can actually lead to paranoia. Some think that understanding bundles will help them avoid all slippage and front-running, but in reality, what you can mostly do is: avoid chasing every pump, don’t fight in hot liquidation zones, check open interest and funding rates, and don’t leverage against the wind. When necessary, use limit orders or stagger entries. By the way, with hardware wallets out of stock and phishing links everywhere, I’d rather spend time double-checking signatures, authorizations, and link sources… No matter how “smart” on-chain money is, it can’t beat a slip of your own hand.
