Performance by Network

Ethereum Mainnet

6.2x return with 74% win rate. Highest gas costs but best liquidity.

Polygon

Sandwich Attack Results

Our sandwich attack strategy targets large trades with significant price impact, though we recognize the ethical considerations of this approach.

Ethical Note: While technically profitable, sandwich attacks are controversial in the DeFi community. PoIPoE focuses on providing protection tools as well as attack capabilities.

Performance Analysis

Target Selection

67.3% success rate targeting trades >$100K with 5%+ slippage tolerance

Execution Speed

Requires sub-second execution timing within same block

Risk Assessment

Higher risk profile due to price prediction requirements
