TechFlow reports, according to crypto analyst @shoucccc's analysis, CZ’s first TST purchase transaction was sent via a private RPC, yet the transaction details were still leaked.
CZ set a minimum purchase amount of 363,225 TST. However, due to blockchain slippage, the actual received amount could have been 365,564 TST, representing a difference of approximately 0.7%. Had this transaction not used a private RPC, sandwich bots could have captured over $200 in profit.
A certain address front-ran CZ’s transaction but was itself sandwiched, ultimately causing CZ’s transaction to fail. Furthermore, this address (0xB2d57876271eA8684e7c521c1265b87703d9A0DA) appears to have known about CZ’s buy order in advance and attempted to backrun CZ’s trade by monitoring CZ’s TST balance.
@shoucccc believes this address is not a typical sandwich bot, as it had not previously targeted CZ in any transactions.
