**Before You Trade: Key Settings to Consider**\
**1. Priority Fee**
Add an optional fee to increase your transaction's priority and likelihood of fast confirmation.
**2. Slippage Tolerance**
Define the maximum acceptable price movement (as a %) between order submission and execution.
**3. MEV Protection**
Mitigates front-running attacks. Malicious bots can detect your incoming buy and frontrun it to profit at your expense. Enable MEV Protection to add a bribe fee, which helps block sandwich attacks.The hand-and-coin icon in the upper right shows the minimum MEV bribe required. Set your MEV bribe above this value for effective protection.
**4. Bribe Fee (Only active when Boost Mode is ON)**
This is the anti-MEV bribe amount. Similar to priority fees, but targeted at disincentivizing malicious bots from sandwiching your trade.
*Note: MEV Protection is only relevant for buy transactions. Most tokens do not require it when selling.*
