# MEV Protection

In order to **protect** you from **slippage**, **front-running** and **sandwich** **attacks**, you can use alternatives trading modes. By default transactions are made in **Turbo Mode**. 

You can switch between differents modes : 

* :shield: **MEV/Front-run protection** : **Safeguard** you from front-run and sandwich **attacks** but is **slower**
* :brain: **Smart** : **Faster** than protection and **reduces your chances of getting attacked**
* :boom: **Turbo** : The **fastest** mode but is **attack sensible**  

To switch mode, go to your bot and do **/settings**, then click on the mode button. In the example below, it is the ":boom:Turbo mode" button. Click here until you find the mode that suits you the best.

When MEV Protection is enabled (:shield:**mode**), the bot is always **safeguarding you from attackers** but the **transactions are slower and can fail more frenquently**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
For (:shield:**MEV Protection**) and (:brain:**Smart**) modes, please ensure that you have at least **0.001 SOL of priority fees** in your settings. Otherwise, the transaction **will fail**.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.pumpfunbot.io/quick-setup-guide/mev-protection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
