Arbitrage and sandwich attacks are both categorized as MEV, but they have fundamentally different effects: one improves market efficiency, while the other exploits user transactions. Arbitrage responds to price discrepancies that already exist. It brings prices across markets back into alignment. A sandwich attack creates an artificial price movement around another user’s transaction, forcing them into a worse execution. Bancor’s infrastructure treats them accordingly. @CarbonDeFixyz's one-directional orders are immune to sandwich attacks by design. The Arb Fast Lane searches for arbitrage opportunities across Carbon DeFi and all major DEXs on a network to help fill orders, keep strategies actively trading, and maintain price alignment across the chain. One manufactures market inefficiencies. The other corrects them.
