PancakeSwap has announced the expansion of its MEV Guard feature on BNB Chain to protect users from attacks and offer new opportunities.
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, allow bots or specialized traders to insert their transactions, profiting at the expense of others. This often results in worse trade conditions or complete failure of the trade. 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: protection from frontrunning and sandwich attacks on BNB Chain * Fast, reliable RPC: using BNB Chain's ecosystem for stable, high-performance connections * Free, one-click setup: easy to activate with no cost * Multi-wallet support: now works with Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby Wallet
