With this new feature enabled you will be protected from getting MEV'd, but pay a tiny extra fee per trade, to avoid this from happening. MEV explained: MEV stands for Maximum Extractable Value. **In short basically some smart nerd will sit there and use a software to put a buy order in BEFORE yours / other large buy orders, to get a better price.** He then sells immediately after your buy or the large buy order, to sell for a small profit. They do this at scale with thousands of transactions. You have the choice to turn this on or off! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
