# šŸ’° Let's make Frontrunning Bots Lose Money šŸ’°

Join us Today ā˜€ļø at 1:00 pm CST ā°

Frontrunning bots are active on the Devcash/xDai liquidity pool. We noticed there is a way to cause them to make losing trades.
This will be a live hack session where we build a simple script that makes them lose as much as possible.
You're welcome to help us build our bot, or simply spectate as we do it.
The event takes place on discord. Come to discuss prior to the event!

Further Explanation for beginners:
The story began when we put our cryptocurrency, Devcash, up for trading on Honeyswap (a decentralized exchange).
Honeyswap is a clone of Uniswap, and on Uniswap clones, it is often possible to frontrun trades by buying before a user's trade, and selling after, netting a small profit at the expense of the victim.
In practice when you buy Devcash, we do indeed notice a trade happening before and after, and we see that the bot makes a small profit every time, at the expense of traders and Devcash holders.
However, we also noticed a simple way to exploit the bot such that it makes trades and loses money.
