Yes to all your questions. See http://frontrun.me/ http://frontrun.me/ for some logs of gas auctions.
There is/was also so-called "back-running" where bots spammed many transactions with the same gas price as a target transaction: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/21350 https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/21350
- est31 6y agoThat's interesting, thank you!
- milchek 6y agoSo, with front-running on Ethereum, am I understanding correctly that what is happening here is that bots are being used to look at buy and sell orders on decentralized exchanges and then sending their own tokens with a slightly higher gas price to get in 'front' of the detected order? What is the point of "back-running?"
