<summary><mark style="color:purple;">Anti-MEV protection. What is it? How does it Work</mark></summary>

**MEV protection** (Anti-MEV) is a protection feature which aims to protect user's transactions against MEV-bots and sandwich attacks:

![](https://1584883750-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMFbER2mVyKdohcY1mFOU%2Fuploads%2FPCh1wPC5HkEMmRaZ4XCw%2FMEV%20protection.png?alt=media\&token=bd8cb206-11a4-4ee7-a1d4-659606e36ac5)\
\
By keeping transactions private, they are not visible to MEV-bots until they are mined on the blockchain, thus mitigating sandwich attacks and MEV-bot attacks.\
\
Anti-MEV is **always enabled** for Hodless bot Buy/Sell transactions to provide all users with additional protection.
