Overview

Reliable endpoints, fee awareness, and a conservative playbook are key to consistent Base MEV execution.

TL;DR

• Prefer low‑variance WSS close to your region.
• Use private bundles first; keep a safe public fallback with caps.
• Track inclusion percent; tune per route.

Quick checklist

• Router allowlists and token hygiene.
• Min liquidity threshold per pair.
• Slippage ≤ 0.5–1.0% and per‑trade gas/session budgets.

Next steps

Key Takeaways

• Private Execution: Routing transactions through private builders (like Flashbots or Jito) prevents public mempool exposure and sandwich attacks.
• Latency Matters: Co-locating nodes or choosing the lowest-latency RPC endpoint directly impacts inclusion rates.
• Stay Secure: Always verify your FRB Agent environment and use risk guards like slippage caps and budget constraints.
