MEV Protect

Turn MEV Protect on in order to prevent MEV attacks on your transactions.

What is MEV attacks?

A MEV attack on Solana happens when validators manipulate the order of transactions in a block to make extra profits. This could involve front-running trades (placing their transaction first) or back-running (placing it right after). This means you might lose out on potential profits and have to purchase the same token for much higher than you originally intended for.

How can I protect myself from MEV attacks?

Enabling MEV Protect will mean that your processor is changed to Jito instead of Ultra exclusively which will mean you wait a little longer for a MEV protected slot insuring your transaction will be sent safely.
