Blog post was co-written with Samuel Huber, dTech.vision. Building a mini app on Farcaster used to sound like rocket science. Now it’s as easy as opening ChatGPT, typing “make me a prediction market,” and watching your idea come to life. Generative AI turned what used to take a

The Scale of the Problem If you’re part of a DAO, you already know the numbers are big. Treasuries collectively hold billions of dollars, and every year hundreds of millions flow out on audits, grants, marketing, and tooling. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: a lot of that money

Explore how Shutter uses threshold encryption to fight MEV, its strengths and trade-offs.

We’ve Seen This Before. It’s Happening Again. In 2014, Michael Lewis published a book called Flash Boys. It pulled back the curtain on Wall Street’s dirty little secret: a small group of trading firms had rigged the game. They spent millions on faster cables and servers so

We're excited to share some big news: Erigon’s 3.1.0 Pebble Paw release now officially supports Shutter’s encrypted mempool on the Gnosis chain in addition to the Nethermind client. Erigon is a high-performance Ethereum execution client, and this update makes it easier than ever for

This article provides insights on proposing encrypted mempools in various environments, offering a practical framework tailored to your context.

Ethereum’s public mempool has always been a double-edged sword.  On one hand, it reflects the openness of the network and allows for auditability. On the other, that same openness creates an “exploit window,” where pending transactions can be seen and acted upon before they’re finalized. This fuels harmful

What if your AI could launch time-locked encrypted workflows with just a few prompts? That’s now possible with today’s release of the testnet alpha of Shutter MCP, powered by Shutter API. With Shutter MCP, your AI can set up and run: * Sealed-bid request for proposals * Sealed bug bounties

Encrypted mempools dramatically reduce censorship and malicious MEV, but face limitations such as potential collusion, rigid setups, and added latency. In this article, we’ll explore advanced, deployable cryptographic primitives - beyond FHE and MPC - that can address these limitations.
