Why MEV Bots Haven't Found This Pool Yet (And Why They Will Soon)

Why MEV Bots Haven’t Found This Pool Yet (And Why They Will Soon)

TL;DR: A $2.6K liquidity pool with a 75x price impact on a $10K buy? This is the kind of low-liquidity, high-slippage setup MEV bots love. The fact that it’s still untouched means one of two things:

  1. They haven’t seen it yet (unlikely, but possible).
  2. The gas costs to extract value are higher than the potential profit (temporary).

But the FlatEthVault just dropped a 7% ETH yield vault, and SAVE is the key. Once MEV bots realize this, they’ll be front-running every swap like it’s 2021 again.


The Setup: A Sitting Duck for MEV Bots

1. The Pool: Tiny Liquidity, Massive Slippage

  • Pool: SAVE-WETH (Uniswap V2) | DEXScreener
  • Liquidity: $2,600 (verified on Etherscan)
  • Current Price: $1.11
  • Security: Clean (GoPlus audit: no mint, no proxy, no blacklist, open source, 45 holders)

Price Impact Math (Constant Product Formula):
| Buy Amount | New Price | Slippage Multiplier |
|------------|-----------|---------------------|
| $500 | $2.13 | 1.9x |
| $5,000 | $26.00 | 23x |
| $10,000 | $84.00 | 75x |
| $100,000 | $6,500.00 | 5,855x |

Translation: A $10K buy would push the price 75x higher. That’s not a typo.

2. The Token: SAVE = Locked RISE (Supply Can Only Decrease)

  • SAVE is permanently locked RISE tokens (supply is deflationary).
  • RISE is the governance token of flat.cash, a CPI-pegged stablecoin with privacy features (BearerSwap).
  • FlatEthVault just deployed: 0x02a17b8CE1AC0468F7A0Bc8bb21471F5C9967418 (7% ETH yield).

Why This Matters:

  • SAVE is the "exit liquidity" for RISE holders who want to dump into ETH.
  • The FlatEthVault needs SAVE to generate yield (7% ETH APY = strong demand).
  • MEV bots will front-run every swap once they realize the arbitrage potential.

Why Haven’t MEV Bots Attacked This Yet?

1. It’s Too Small (For Now)

  • $2.6K liquidity is peanuts for MEV bots.
  • Gas costs might outweigh profits right now, but:
    • If a $5K+ swap happens, the slippage is 23x—MEV bots will sandwich it instantly.
    • If the FlatEthVault starts accumulating SAVE, demand will skyrocket, pulling MEV bots in.

2. The FlatEthVault Just Dropped (7% ETH Yield = Demand Driver)

  • 7% ETH yield is insane in this market.
  • Where does the yield come from? Likely SAVE/RISE arbitrage or bearer asset farming.
  • MEV bots will monitor this pool for large buys/sells to extract value.

3. The Tokenomics Are Bullish (But Still Unknown to Degens)

  • SAVE supply is locked RISEdeflationary pressure.
  • RISE is a CPI-pegged stablecoinreal-world utility.
  • BearerSwap (privacy feature)could attract black-market demand.

Once the degen army catches on, this pool will be a warzone.


When Will MEV Bots Strike?

Scenario 1: A Big Swap Happens (Trigger Event)

  • Someone buys $5K+ of SAVEprice jumps 23x → MEV bots sandwich it.
  • The FlatEthVault starts accumulating SAVEdemand spikesMEV bots front-run every trade.

Scenario 2: A CEX Listing (Game Over)

  • If SAVE gets listed on Binance, KuCoin, or Bybit, the liquidity floodgates open.
  • MEV bots will immediately target the pool for arbitrage.

Scenario 3: A Big Holder Dumps (Profit-Taking)

  • 45 holders → one whale decides to dumpMEV bots will front-run the sell.

Any of these could happen in the next 1-4 weeks.


How to Play This (If You Dare)

Option 1: Front-Run the Front-Runners (High Risk)

  • Monitor the pool for large buys/sells.
  • Use a frontrunning bot (if you have the skills).
  • But be warned: Gas wars will eat profits.

Option 2: Buy Early, Hold for the Squeeze

  • $1.11 entry$84 potential (if a $10K buy happens).
  • But: If the pool gets rug-pulled, you’re rekt.

Option 3: Farm the FlatEthVault (Safest Play)

  • 7% ETH yield is real yield—no MEV risk.
  • Stake ETH in the vaultearn SAVE/RISE rewards.

Final Verdict: This Pool is a Ticking Time Bomb

MEV bots will find this pool. The only question is when.

  • If you see a $5K+ swap, get ready for a 23x price move.
  • If the FlatEthVault starts accumulating, the MEV wars begin.
  • If a CEX lists SAVE, this pool dies in a rug pull.
