Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin fell victim to a sandwich attack by one of the most notorious MEV bots on Ethereum, jaredfromsubway.eth, while executing a small XDB token swap worth about $3.86.
The bot manipulated the XDB price by buying and selling around Buterin's trade, utilizing approximately $1.14 million in WETH between SushiSwap and Uniswap V2.
However, after deducting around $5.14 in Gas fees, the bot actually ended up taking a loss, while Buterin's slippage loss was only a few cents.
What stands out in this incident is that even Vitalik Buterin, a co-founder of Ethereum with a deep understanding of MEV issues, could not avoid becoming a target of an MEV attack.
The often-cited "dark forest" analogy in DeFi suggests that in the public blockchain mempool, all trades are exposed to automated bot surveillance, and any profitable trade can potentially be attacked.
If an expert user like Buterin can be attacked due to improper trade settings, the threats faced by regular users are clearly much greater.
