tl, dr

sandwiching occurs when a searcher identifies a profitable trade in the mempool that will cause an impact on the price of an asset.

a searcher buys or sells a calculated amount directly before the large trade is executed and then immediately exits their position after the large order has taken place, banking a profit.
-
the main theme of sandwich attacks is the deterministic price slippage caused by available liquidity in the pool, which is deterministic . slipage is the change in the price of an asset during a trade.
-
sandwiches (and most frontruns) are often labelled toxic mev because the tx that is frontrun either executes at worse conditions or fails to execute.
-
a softer side of sandwich is on the lens of economic efficiency, on which an order can create a consumer surplus and the absence of a nash equilibrium. the bot operator would love the economic system back.
