A record 35.5% of BNB Chain’s blocks were affected by Sandwich attacks in November. Over the past week alone, 645 Sandwich Bots were found to be active on the chain. In total, roughly 43,400 DEX traders were impacted during the entire ordeal. A sandwich attack is an MEV technique where an attacker identifies a pending transaction and strategically places orders before and after it. These types of attacks are especially prevalent on decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms and decentralized exchanges (DEXs)
