# MEV Protection Turn on **MEV Protection** to safeguard your transactions from MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks. By enabling it (**green dot 🟢**), your transactions will be processed through Jito's block engine, which bundles and protects your transactions from MEV attacks. ### **What are MEV attacks?** An **MEV attack** occurs when validators manipulate the order of transactions in a block to extract additional profits. On Solana, this often involves **front-running** (placing their transaction before yours) or **back-running** (placing it immediately after yours). This can result in you paying higher prices than expected for a token or missing out on potential profits. ### Supported Networks Currently, MEV Protection is available on **Solana**, with support for **Ethereum** coming soon. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
