Do people who switch to private trades within 60 days lose less to sandwiches?

Research question: Using a matched design that compares victims who migrated to private routing within 60 days against matched victims who did not, do migrants have lower subsequent sandwich loss rates, and does the 37.2% migration figure in the adaptation study hold on a replication sample?

The records show that the verified facts do not answer whether matched migrants to private routing have lower subsequent sandwich loss rates ². The Solana study states that it does not measure migration, matched victims, or a 37.2% figure, so it cannot test the adaptation study's number on a replication sample ². A separate report credits traders adopting MEV-protection tools with reducing sandwich attack margins, but it offers no matched comparison or replication sample ¹. Other records show that attackers reached trades moving through protected systems using validators, application-level routing and other submission infrastructure ³. The newest fact is dated August 30, 2026, roughly one to two months before October 2026, while the Solana study covers July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026 ¹².
