In What Way Do Layer-2 Scaling Solutions Reduce Front-Running Risk?

Layer-2 (L2) scaling solutions, such as Rollups, process transactions off the main chain (Layer-1) and only periodically submit a compressed proof or state root back to L1. By executing trades off-chain, L2s effectively move the transaction process out of the public L1 mempool, drastically reducing the visibility that front-running bots rely on.

This private or semi-private execution environment, combined with faster transaction speeds, significantly mitigates front-running and MEV exploitation.
