How Can Users Protect Themselves from Sandwich Attacks in DeFi?

Users can protect themselves by using private transaction relays (like Flashbots Protect) to prevent their transaction from entering the public mempool. They should also set a low, but realistic, slippage tolerance to limit the potential profit of an attacker.

Using DEX aggregators that automatically route trades through private pools or use anti-MEV mechanisms can also offer protection.
