# MEV Protection

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks—like frontrunning and sandwiching—can eat into your profits during swaps, especially for hyped or illiquid tokens.

EchoSol offers a **simple toggle** to enable or disable **MEV Protection**.

#### How it works:

* When **enabled**, your transactions are sent through **private RPC endpoints**, shielding them from bots that monitor the public mempool.
* When **disabled**, your transactions follow standard Solana broadcast paths.

#### Toggle:

* Just tap the **MEV Protection** button in `/settings` to turn it **ON or OFF** instantly.

> 🔒 Recommended to keep MEV Protection **enabled** at all times for safer trades.
