1/10 Yesterday must have been an awful day for rich token holders, as the top 3 victims of the day are all Token Millionaires. ImageImageImageImage
2/10 The Token Millionaire with $10M in holdings has suffered heavy loss in the last 7 days. It was squeezed for $399,46 in 16 🥪s while losing $18,789 in yesterday's 🥪.

3/10 This 🥪 was also the top tx of the day, bringing the 😈 over $5,632 in profits.

4/10 The 😢 at the time was trying to swap 2,650 $WETH for $USDC but became the recipe of the 🥪.
How did the 😈 make the front-running? It just used 1,473 $WETH to buy $USDC, which raised the $WETH/$USDC price in a UniV3 LP (0x88e). Thus the 😢 had to pay more $WETH than usual. ImageImage
5/10 In another 🥪, whose victim has lost over $23,480, the #MEV employed over $12.8M to launch the attack with the help of an AAVE loan.
Finally, it only earned $3,063.9. The cost reached $20,416, most of which was paid to the miner 🔨.

6/10 The top 2 profitable 🥪, whose trading volume hit $10M, have pushed $LUSD onto the hot token leaderboard.

7/10 As a result of those big 🥪s, the profit made by 🥪 chefs increased by nearly 40%, while the cost surged by 87%. Image

1/6 Today let's work on a classic #arbitrage that @_bout3fiddy_ contributed to our #AwesomeTx bounty.

In this tx, the 🕵️‍♂️ earned over $252,578.9 while paying over 720 $ETH as miner tips, using 4 tokens ($WETH, $USDT, $USDC, $DAI) in 3 venues.

eigenphi.io/ethereum/tx/0x…
2/6 Here's how the searcher🕵️‍♂️ made this:
1) The 🕵️‍♂️ sent 4,700 $WETH from Balancer Vault to a Curve LP 0xd51a (Step 0,1 in the figure) and swapped the money for 6,075,210 $USDT (Step 2).
3/6
2) After receiving the $USDT, the 🕵️‍♂️ swapped only 6,074,603 $USDT for $USDC in another Curve LP 0xbebc (3,4), remaining 607 $USDT.

3) Then, 6,065,352 from 6,065,959 $USDC was swapped to 5,606 $WETH through Uniwap V2 (5,6), during which the searcher reserved 607 $USDC.

1/9 The top 🥪 became breakfast in the morning, marking a productive start to the day.

eigenphi.io/ethereum/tx/0x…
2/9 The 😢 of this 🥪, also the biggest victim of the day, was a Tornado Cash Withdrawer.
eigenphi.io/ethereum/sandw…
It lost $11,840 in the attack when swapping 895.95 $WETH for $renBTC.
However, the #MEV 🤖 only earned $4,259, since it paid $7,580 to the DEX and miners 🔨.
3/9 A consequence of the 🥪 was the rise of $renBTC, which became the hottest token yesterday.
Top LP: a $WETH/$renBTC pool.
