PancakeSwap has announced an upgrade to its MEV Guard feature on BNB Chain, expanding support for popular crypto wallets to enhance transaction protection.
What Is MEV and Why Does It Matter?
MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to profits extracted from blockchain users by controlling transaction order. Frontrunning and sandwich attacks allow bots to insert their transactions before and after users', taking advantage of them. PancakeSwap's MEV Guard protects against these harmful practices.
Key Features of the Enhanced MEV Guard
The expanded MEV Guard offers several benefits to PancakeSwap users: - Secure swaps from frontrunning and sandwich attacks on BNB Chain - Fast and reliable connections using BNB Chain's ecosystem - Free one-click setup - Multi-wallet support including Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet, OKX Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby Wallet
