Overview
Reliable endpoints, fee awareness, and a conservative playbook are key to consistent Base MEV execution.
TL;DR
- Prefer low‑variance WSS close to your region.
- Use private bundles first; keep a safe public fallback with caps.
- Track inclusion percent; tune per route.
Quick checklist
- Router allowlists and token hygiene.
- Min liquidity threshold per pair.
- Slippage ≤ 0.5–1.0% and per‑trade gas/session budgets.
