MEV Protection

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) Protection is a feature designed to help safeguard your trades from malicious on-chain tactics like frontrunning and sandwich attacks.

When MEV Protection is enabled, your transactions are sent privately rather than being broadcast to the public mempool. This prevents bots from seeing your trade in advance and manipulating prices to their advantage.

Why Use MEV Protection?

• Frontrunning Defense – Stops bots from buying ahead of your trade to profit from your slippage.
• Sandwich Attack Prevention – Prevents bots from placing trades before and after yours to exploit price movements.
• Increased Execution Fairness – Keeps your trade safe and secure under high network activity.

How to Enable It

You can toggle MEV Protection in the following areas:

• Settings > MEV Protection (sets it as default)
• Buy or Sell Menu (toggle per trade)

When activated, XeroGravity routes your transaction through a protected channel to ensure it remains hidden until execution.

Note: While MEV Protection helps improve trade integrity, it may slightly delay execution in rare cases due to the private routing process.
