A study detected over 28 million protected-flow sandwich attacks on Solana from July 2023 to June 2026, involving 8,631 bots and generating around $345 million in profit after fees. These attacks exploit private transaction systems designed to limit front-running but do not fully eliminate it. The research also found similar attacks on Ethereum, Tron, and Base, but none on Arbitrum or Monad. On Solana, exposure shifted from validators to specific applications, indicating that protection at one transaction stage may not prevent attacks elsewhere. This highlights ongoing risks for users despite advances in transaction privacy and routing technology.
The Solana study on protected transaction flows and sandwich attacks provides context for cryptocurrency market activity.
