Oracle Architecture and MEV Protection

HOOKED Exchange protects you from bad actors trying to steal profits from your trades!

How it protects you:

  • 🛡️ Smart detection - Automatically spots suspicious trading activity
  • 💸 Higher fees for bad actors - Makes it expensive to attack other users
  • 📊 Lower fees for you - Normal traders get fair, low fees
  • 🤖 Automatic protection - Works in the background, no setup needed

Think of it like having a smart security guard that makes trading safer for everyone!

MEV Protection Overview​

What are "bad actors" trying to do?

  • Front-running - Jumping ahead of your trade to steal profits
  • Sandwich attacks - Trapping your trade between their buy/sell orders
  • Price manipulation - Artificially moving prices to profit from you

How HOOKED protects you:

  • Watches constantly - Monitors all trading activity in real-time
  • Raises fees for attackers - Makes their attacks unprofitable
  • Keeps your fees low - Normal trading stays cheap
  • Works automatically - No action needed from you

How It Works Simply​

The protection system watches for three main things:

  1. Price differences - Spots when prices vary too much between pools
  2. Market volatility - Detects when markets are moving quickly
  3. Trading patterns - Identifies suspicious trading behavior

When any of these are detected, fees automatically increase for risky trades while keeping normal trades affordable.
