A mysterious MEV (Maximum Extractable Value) bot operator, known as Jaredfromsubway.eth, has been causing a stir in the cryptocurrency world with new, aggressive tactics that are raking in millions of dollars in Ethereum.&nbsp; 
Since August 14, Jared, whose name references the disgraced former Subway spokesperson, has seemingly upgraded his operations, switching to a new contract address, according to a report by MEV tracking site, <a href="https://eigenphi.substack.com/p/jared-2-cunninger-sandwiches" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">EigenPhi</a>. 
Jared’s previous bot, which had already gained notoriety for earning millions within three months in 2023, has now evolved. The <a href="https://eigenphi.io/mev/ethereum/contract/0x1f2f10d1c40777ae1da742455c65828ff36df387" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">new address</a>, created by the same key pair as his original bot, has already processed over 85,000 transactions, generating approximately 765 ETH—just under $2 million at current prices.&nbsp; 
MEV, or Maximum Extractable Value, involves reordering blockchain transactions to maximize profits. It’s a controversial practice that can manipulate the order in which trades are executed, impacting users’ prices, especially on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap.&nbsp; 
Jared’s bot employs sophisticated sandwich attacks—a strategy that involves front-running and back-running other users’ trades to exploit price differences, leaving victims with worse execution prices while Jared pockets the profit. 
The report highlights that Jared’s new bot has become even more complex, executing multi-layered sandwich attacks that generate more profit. These advanced techniques involve adding and removing liquidity in ways that trap unsuspecting traders, driving up prices and selling at a premium. 
EigenPhi’s analysis suggests that Jared’s new tactics are just the beginning, hinting at the potential for even more elaborate and aggressive strategies in the future. As Jared continues evolving his approach, the crypto community is watching closely, trying to keep up with the latest developments in this high-stakes digital cat-and-mouse game. 
Jared is one of the most popular anonymous MEV bots in the crypto world. The last time “jaredfromsubway.eth” came in a limelite when it spent 210 ETH ($810,000) on gas fees and became the top spender on Ethereum that day.
