 <p>The user created the WBTC-CRV <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="liquidity" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/liquidity.html">liquidity</a> pool on the Uniswap v3 platform. He then deposited $1.56 million worth of Wrapped Bitcoins (WBTC).</p>

 <p>They tried to exchange CRV for WBTC urgently. One of the bots managed to convert 1.36 million in CRV to 39.01 WBTC, Arkham Intelligence notes. For the priority of the transaction, he paid the validator $527,000. His bonus was about $260.</p>
