Sun Yuchen: Tron super nodes have no MEV mechanism and do not facilitate front-running

ChainCatcher news, Sun Yuchen stated on social media that recently, the Tron network received community feedback regarding front-running trades. After investigation, it was found that the Tron network does not have an MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) mechanism. Overall, Tron is significantly ahead of Ethereum and Solana in preventing bot front-running, with an interception rate of around 98%.

1. Tron’s SR (Super Representative) nodes have not implemented any MEV mechanism, and no one can prioritize their transactions on-chain through price manipulation or manipulate blocks by rearranging, inserting, or deleting transactions to gain extra profits.
2. Investigations show that Tron super nodes have not accepted bribes to facilitate front-running trades, and the official stance strictly prohibits any form of assistance for front-running.
3. The so-called MEV trades identified by the community involve a large number of failed scenarios, where bots are using probabilistic methods to exploit victims.
4. 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. Additionally, the decentralized voting system supervises SR behavior, significantly reducing the likelihood of front-running and making the market fairer.
