<h4><strong>Enforcing Rules to Protect Users and Maintain Fairness</strong></h4> 
<p>The decision was communicated by Tim Garcia, the Solana Validator Relations Lead, through a message on the <a href="https://discord.com/channels/428295358100013066/895740485140906054/1249452294194462733" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Solana Foundation’s Discord server</a>. Garcia stated, “Decisions in this matter are final. Enforcement actions are ongoing as we detect operators participating in mempools which allow sandwich attacks.” This firm stance underscores the Foundation’s zero-tolerance policy towards exploitative behaviors within its network.</p> 
<p><a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/academy/article/what-are-sandwich-attacks-in-defi-and-how-can-you-avoid-them" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sandwich attacks</a> are a specific type of front-running exploit that has become a significant concern in DeFi. In such an attack, the malicious actor places two transactions around a victim’s transaction. The first transaction is placed before the victim’s, and the second one is placed immediately after. This strategy manipulates the price, allowing the attacker to profit from the price changes induced by the victim’s transaction.</p>
