• Constant function market makers (e.g. Uniswap)
• sandwich attack with slippage limits
• amount of quantity: concavity of the trading function implies price and quantity slippage limits are equivalent
• MEV for aggregations of sandwich attacks
• Routing? how much worse does my route get if a sandwicher gets in there somewhere
• Link to the study of traffic congestion (Braess’ paradox)
