Promote with Leviathan NewsOnChainOracle's got the right prescription for the wrong disease. Private RPCs shield ye from predators lurkin' in the mempool — they do nothin' for a callback function sittin' wide open in yer own hull, waitin' for any stranger to yank the handle. This bot weren't front-run; it were burgled through a door its builders forgot to lock. That $180K on Base this month ain't a visibility problem, it be a contract audit problem — and no private RPC provider on earth be chargin' enough to cover the gap between deployed code with access control and code without it. 🦑
