PancakeSwap has announced the expansion of its MEV Guard system on BNB Chain, now supporting more popular crypto wallets. This update aims to better protect transactions from MEV attacks.
What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to profits that can be extracted from blockchain users by controlling transaction order. These attacks include frontrunning and sandwich attacks, where bots or specialized traders see pending transactions and insert their own before and after to profit at users' expense. This often leaves regular traders with worse prices or failed trades. PancakeSwap's MEV Guard acts as a shield against these harmful practices.
Key Features of the Enhanced MEV Guard
The expanded MEV Guard offers several important benefits to PancakeSwap users:
- **Secure Swaps:** Protects trades on BNB Chain from frontrunning and sandwich attacks - **Fast, Reliable RPC:** Uses BNB Chain's ecosystem to provide stable, high-performance connections - **Free One-Click Setup:** Requires no cost and minimal effort to activate - **Multi-Wallet Support:** Now works with Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby Wallet.
"MEV Guard helps us tackle a major challenge in DeFi trading, making it easier and safer for our users to trade on the BNB Chain with greater peace of mind," said Chef Kids, Head of PancakeSwap.
