The Solana Foundation Successfully Removes Sandwich Attackers

The foundation behind the Solana blockchain recently removed more than 30 validators from its delegation program after it was proven they were involved in so-called sandwich attacks. These validators collectively held 1.5 million SOL, which represents about 0.5% of the staking amount. Such attacks involve manipulating transaction prices, and in the past two months, they have generated tens of millions of dollars in profit.
