Myths and misconceptions about encrypted mempools can hinder adoption and obscure the value that they offer to Ethereum and its users.

Glamsterdam is Ethereum’s next big upgrade - and a chance to dramatically improve decentralization and censorship resistance. Shutter supports prioritizing EIP-7732 (ePBS) and EIP-7805 (FOCIL), with encrypted mempools and silent threshold encryption proposed as powerful future implementations.

Not all MEV is bad. Arbitrage and liquidations help DeFi run smoothly - but front-running and sandwich attacks exploit users. Shutter’s encrypted mempools stop the malicious kind while preserving the good, restoring fairness without killing efficiency. Here's how it works.

DAO voters have long demanded permanent private voting. It’s now on Shutter’s roadmap. This post shares the architecture and a working POC showing how we’re extending threshold-encrypted voting with ElGamal-based homomorphic tallying - so votes are counted in the encrypted state and remain private.

We appreciate the thoughtful perspectives of the analysts at a16z Crypto on the limitations and potential of encrypted mempools in addressing MEV (Maximal Extractable Value). Their recent blog post raises valid points and highlights genuine challenges. That said, we see several key issues differently and offer a perspective informed by

To celebrate Ethereum's 10th anniversary, we invite the entire Ethereum ecosystem to leave its mark permanently on the chain.

Front-running, vote manipulation, and leaked moves are killing trust in dApps. This post breaks down how the commit-reveal works to fix this - and how Shutter upgrades it with threshold encryption to keep dApps fair, private, and tamper-proof.

CZ recently called for a dark pool-style perp DEX - but there’s no need to build a full FHE dark pool. Shutter API for Shielded Trading offers a scalable solution today using threshold encryption to stop malicious MEV across DEXs, OTC desks, and derivatives.

On-chain governance has gone mainstream - but every public vote is a signal that can be bought and coerced. There remains a huge privacy gap in how decisions are made. Shutter aims to help close it with on-chain Shielded Voting.
