According to BlockBeats, on September 3, Justin Sun announced on his social media platform that the Tron network has recently received community feedback regarding front-running transactions. After thorough investigation, it was found that the Tron network does not have a Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) mechanism. Overall, Tron is significantly ahead of Ethereum and Solana in preventing front-running by bots, with an interception rate of around 98%.
Tron's Super Representative (SR) nodes have not implemented any MEV mechanisms, meaning no one can manipulate prices to prioritize their transactions on the blockchain. Additionally, transactions within blocks cannot be rearranged, inserted, or deleted to gain extra profits. The investigation also revealed that Tron's super nodes have not accepted bribes to facilitate front-running transactions, and the official stance strictly prohibits any form of assistance in such activities. The community's findings of so-called MEV transactions involve numerous failed scenarios where bots are using probabilistic methods to exploit victims.
Front-running is a strategy employed by bots on every blockchain, and Tron is no exception. However, Tron's design eliminates privileged mechanisms, such as prioritizing on-chain transaction senders. Furthermore, a decentralized voting system oversees SR behavior, significantly reducing the likelihood of front-running, thereby making the market fairer.
