How Can a Trader Use a Low Slippage Setting to Mitigate a Sandwich Attack?

A trader can mitigate a sandwich attack by setting a very low slippage tolerance, typically between 0.1% and 0.5%. When a front-runner attempts a sandwich attack, their initial "buy" transaction will push the price of the asset outside the victim's maximum acceptable price range.

Because the price deviation exceeds the low slippage tolerance, the victim's original transaction will automatically fail and revert. This prevents the attacker from profiting, though the victim still pays the gas fee for the failed transaction.
