IgMosqueira: This Design Does Not Actually Protect Against Sandwich Attacks in Solana
The reason:
> In solana validators control consecutive slots and the attack can be carried out at the boundary of the two slots.
> In cases when validators do not control consecutive slots then the validator can still carry out the attack probabilistically
