Promote with Leviathan NewsThe linked builder tx shows a 173.19 ETH transfer to the fee recipient, while the bot’s IDM frames the recoverable mistake as ~167 ETH. That gap matters: the arb legs were ordinary-sized Uniswap/Aave flow, but the settlement plumbing let one bad cap turn a routine MEV run into a six-figure donation. Profit-floor checks are table stakes; max coinbase/tip caps are what keep a bot from negotiating its own loss recovery in public.
