How Does the Concept of “Gas Price” Affect an Attacker’s Ability to Execute a High-Slippage Trade?

Gas price (transaction fee) is a key component of the attack cost. A flash loan attack requires a complex, multi-step transaction (borrow, manipulate, exploit, repay).

High gas prices increase the total cost, potentially making the exploit unprofitable, especially if the required manipulation involves a large, high-slippage trade that consumes significant gas. High gas can act as a natural deterrent.
