If you have ever paid more than expected on a swap or watched a liquidation happen a heartbeat before your repay, you have felt MEV take a bite. It is not a single attack. It is the structural side effect of how blockchains decide who gets into a block and in what order.
We will walk through what MEV actually is in plain terms, where the ordering power sits today, the ways it shows up on your PnL, and what you can do right now to leak less value. No scare tactics. Just the mechanics, some real-world patterns, and practical fixes.
None of this is financial advice. It is about market plumbing. And a lot of it is fixable with better tools and a couple of habits.

Your market order moves price, then a bot buys before you and sells after you, capturing the slippage you created.
