Why is this called Frontrun?

Front-running is access to asymmetric information. A belief that wealth creation is a zero-sum game and a byproduct of a transaction where one party (VCs, private equity, legacy banks) has more or better information than the other (you, retail traders, the 99%). “Better information” can take the form of insider trading on material events of a firm, high-frequency traders co-locating their data centers within the same building of an exchange, or arbitrage bots in crypto re-organizing blocks to maximize profit on a trade.

As retail investors, the macroeconomic policy shaped by government bureaucrats and the invisible hand of central bankers is far beyond your control. You can persist and create wealth.

The catalyst for creating frontrun is the realization that the information you need to win is already available.
