PancakeSwap has announced an update to its MEV Guard feature on the BNB Chain, allowing more users to be protected against malicious 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, such as frontrunning and sandwich attacks, involve inserting transactions before or after user transactions to profit, leading to financial losses for the latter. PancakeSwap's MEV Guard acts as a shield against such harmful practices.
Key Features of the Enhanced MEV Guard
The expanded MEV Guard offers PancakeSwap users several benefits, including:
* Secure trades from attacks on BNB Chain. * Fast and reliable connections through the BNB Chain ecosystem. * Free and easy setup without additional costs. * Multi-wallet support, including Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby Wallet.
