Bot-Driven Transaction Failures and Their Impact
A major contributor to congestion is bot activity, particularly arbitrage bots that generate millions of transactions. Many of these bot transactions fail due to the current implementation flaws in Quick. Interestingly, a large portion—around 60%—of wasted block space stems from failed arbitrage transactions.
