How Does Transaction Batching Mitigate the Risk of Front-Running?

Transaction batching involves grouping multiple user transactions together and submitting them as a single, large transaction to the blockchain. This practice mitigates front-running because the individual trade details and sizes are obscured within the batch, making it harder for a front-runner to identify a specific profitable target.

Furthermore, the internal ordering of trades within the batch is often managed by a centralized sequencer or a fair ordering algorithm, removing the validator's ability to reorder for profit.
