PancakeSwap has announced an upgrade to the MEV Guard feature to enhance user protection from attacks when using popular crypto wallets.
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 transactions to profit at users' expense. 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
