Preface Sandwiching refers to the action of forcing the earlier inclusion of a transaction (frontrun) before a transaction published earlier (victim), with another transaction after the victim transaction to realise a profit (backrun), while abusing the victim's slippage settings. We define a sandwich as \"a set of transactions that include exactly one frontrun and exactly one backrun transaction, as well as at least one victim transaction\", a sandwicher as \"a party that sandwiches\", and a colluder as \"a validator that forwards transactions they receive to a sandwicher\". Some have mentioned that users should issue transactions with lower slippage instead but it's not entirely possible when trading token pairs with extremely high volatility. Being forced to issue transactions with low slippage may lead to higher transaction failure rates and missed opportunities, which is also suboptimal. The reasons why sandwiching is harmful to the ecosystem had been detailed by another researcher and shall not be repeated in detail here, but it mainly boils down to breaking trust, transparency and fairness. We believe that colluder identification should be a continuous effort since generating new keys to run a new validator is essentially free, and with a certain stake pool willing to sell stake to any validator regardless of operating history, one-off removals will prove ineffective.
