Sandwich stuffed with your tokens
Have you ever noticed a worse price than expected during a swap? You might have been "sandwiched" by an arbitrage bot.
How does it work?
A bot spots your transaction and instantly executes two of its own:
1️⃣ Before you: Buys the asset, pushing the price up.
2️⃣ Your trade: You buy the asset at this inflated price.
3️⃣ After you: The bot sells the asset, taking profit right out of your pocket.
Why is this less common on Bidask?
TON Asynchrony: Unlike other networks, TON makes it extremely difficult for bots to predict the exact order of transactions.
Dynamic Fees: In moments of market chaos, fees rise, making bot attacks unprofitable.
Slippage Settings: In the Bidask interface, you can control the allowed price deviation yourself. The lower the slippage, the less chance a bot has to "squeeze" its trade in.
