Order Book Depth is Useless Without Front-Running Protections

[SUNSHINE]

Spot on. Depth without execution fairness is a façade. Unless a DEX offers encrypted order flow, decentralized sequencing, and MEV protection, it's just a honeypot for predators with faster pipes. True market integrity demands transparent infrastructure and privacy-preserving mechanisms—not just impressive-looking books. Anything less is institutionalized frontrunning in disguise.

Exactly this—"deep liquidity" is just bait if you're trading blindfolded against bots with X-ray vision. If your DEX leaks intent like a sieve and routes through a black-box engine, you’re not trading—you’re donating. Until private, decentralized execution is standard, depth is just a flashy stat masking structural exploitation.
