Solana sandwich bots extracted $29.7 million, mostly on Pump.fun
- —6,850,144 attacks by 2,545 bot wallets hit 2,154,994 distinct wallets between Oct 30, 2025 and Oct 7, 2026
- —96% of attacks targeted Pump.fun's launch curve and PumpSwap
- —Trades allowing 20%-50% slippage were sandwiched 14 times as often as those under 3%
- —In a 63-attack sample, bots kept 68% of gross proceeds; 18 attacks lost money after costs
Why it matters: Sandwich attacks systematically worsen execution for Solana retail traders and raise questions about order-flow protection.
