PancakeSwap has announced an update to its MEV Guard feature on BNB Chain with new wallet support to protect transactions from MEV attacks.
What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to profits extracted from blockchain users by controlling transaction order. Attacks such as frontrunning and sandwich attacks harm users by worsening trade conditions and causing failed trades. PancakeSwap's MEV Guard protects users from these harmful practices.
Key Features of the Enhanced MEV Guard
The expanded MEV Guard offers several benefits:
* **Secure Swaps:** Protects trades on BNB Chain from frontrunning and sandwich attacks. * **Fast, Reliable RPC:** Provides stable connections through BNB Chain's ecosystem. * **Free One-Click Setup:** Activation is cost-free and quick. * **Multi-Wallet Support:** Now works with Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby Wallet.
