How Does Transaction Batching Help to Prevent Front-Running?
Transaction batching groups multiple user transactions into a single, combined transaction that is then submitted to the blockchain. This method helps prevent front-running in two main ways.
First, it obscures the individual intent and size of each trade within the batch, making it harder for a front-runner to identify a profitable target. Second, it often executes all batched trades at a single, uniform price, which removes the opportunity for an attacker to profit from the price movement caused by any single large trade within the group.
