How Do DEXs Balance the Need for Anti-Front-Running with the User Demand for Low Latency?

DEXs balance this by offering a spectrum of solutions. Highly liquid spot markets often prioritize low latency, accepting some MEV risk, or using soft-mitigation like private mempools.

Derivatives and less liquid markets, where front-running is more damaging, might employ stricter anti-MEV measures like commit-reveal or batch auctions, accepting the higher latency. The choice is often presented to the user, allowing them to choose their preferred trade-off between speed and execution fairness.
