The data proves the Sandwich arbitrages’ increasing trend. Take a look at the three charts below. The first shows the last seven days of Sandwich arbitrages’ cost, profit, revenue, and arbitr...

The interplays between Smart Contracts, DeFi assets, and their callers are so diverse and flexible that they are impossible to decipher without a powerful tool, let alone decode the hidden market signal. For example, consider the Cream Finance Flash Loan attack from last year. There were 29 t...
