How Can a User Protect Themselves from Sandwich Attacks Caused by High Slippage Tolerance?

Users can protect themselves by setting a low, tight slippage tolerance that is just enough to allow the transaction to pass in current market conditions. They can also use DEX aggregators that route transactions through private relay networks (MEV-resistant relays).

These private relays prevent the transaction from entering the public mempool, thus hiding it from front-running bots and eliminating the opportunity for a sandwich attack.
