The move comes as MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) strategies continue draining millions from everyday crypto users. CZ’s proposal would restructure liquidity pools to make front-running mathematically unprofitable—at least in theory.
Wall Street quants won’t lose sleep yet. But for an industry that still treats ’fairness’ as a marketing buzzword, it’s a rare structural attack on crypto’s hidden tax: the bots that always seem to buy just before your order hits.
