Sandwich attacks manipulated 35.5% of BNB Smart Chain blocks in November

Data shows that the number of blocks suffering Sandwich attacks in the BNB Smart Chain reached a new record last month. According to data provided by Dune, 35.5% of the blocks in BSC were manipulated by Sandwich attacks, abusing the blockchain’s transparency, immutability and decentralization. This set a new record high for the BSC network. Source: Dune In Sandwich attacks, the malicious actor would put one order before and another right after a large transaction — sandwiching the on-chain transaction — to potentially purchase an asset at a lower price and sell before the victim makes a move. The main intention of Sandwich attacks is to manipulate the price of a crypto asset on decentralized exchanges .

Consequently, the prey’s transaction would be worth less. Data from the analytics platform shows that over 43,000 DEX traders have been affected by Sandwich attacks over the past week, marking a nine-month high. Moreover, 645 active bots executing these manipulative attacks have been spotted on the BSC network within the same timeframe. Last week, the total DEX volume on BSC reached $9.2 million. The rise of the Sandwich attacks in the BSC ecosystem comes as the network’s native token, BNB ( BNB ), recorded a 17% surge over the past month. BNB is changing hands at $656 with a market cap of $94.5 billion at the time of writing. On the other hand, Sandwich attacks on Ethereum ( ETH ) have been declining since July — falling from 62.9% to 40.2% over the last five months. Just over 12,000 DEX users on the network suffered from Sandwich attacks over the past month. Read more: XRP price surges 15% in 24H as network growth drives rally, but will it last?
