Solana Foundation expels validators for sandwich attacks on retail users
Summary
Solana Foundation expelled validators for conducting sandwich attacks on retail users, violating its rules. These attacks manipulate transaction prices to benefit attackers at the expense of retail traders. The MEV revenue on Solana has surpassed Ethereum's, with one protocol set to generate $25 million in revenue over the next 12 months. The foundation will no longer delegate to operators exploiting retail users through sandwich attacks, but critics argue this move highlights Solana's centralization.
