Shutter Network

Shutter protoDAO ensures decentralization of the Keyper set and provides a way for new Keypers to apply to join. We are thrilled to announce the Shutter protoDAO to the public. The primary purpose of the protoDAO is to select and manage a decentralized Keyper set. In this post, we will

We had the amazing opportunity to be organizing MEV-Day together with Flashbots and CoW Protocol, with the help of the Ethereum Foundation, during the Devconnect week in Amsterdam this year. MEV-Day was a one-day event dedicated to Maximal Extractable Value (MEV). The program consisted of panels, talks, and workshops by

We’re announcing Rolling Shutter to bring MEV protection to rollups on Ethereum. It builds upon our previous efforts of using threshold encryption to combat front running and malicious MEV. However, it implements the DKG scheme directly into L2/rollup sequencer mechanisms in order to protect all dapps deployed on

Today, we're excited to announce Shutter Governance, a tool for governance platforms to introduce shielded voting for their users. It uses threshold encryption and is designed to fix issues with misbehavior, voter apathy, and voting incentive systems. Combating front running and malicious Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) remains our

In the previous blog post, I explained some basics about maximal extractable value (MEV), Ethereum transactions, and the mempool. In that post, you learned how miners could manipulate transactions. In this blog post, I'll walk you through three different types of front running attacks. It is not the

Blog post series about MEV for beginners. This MEV explainer series for beginners serves you and the crypto community to dive into the "dark forest" of the maximal (formerly known as miner) extractable value (MEV) world and hopefully lighten up or refresh your knowledge about the entire problem

Some of you have already tried the example application of the Shutter. If you missed the announcement about the alpha release, check out our previous blog post. In this article, we are providing an in-depth explanation of On-chain Shutter, Shutter’s first instantiation on Ethereum that is ready to be

Two weeks ago we announced Shutter. Today we are excited to release the first alpha version, deployed on the Goerli testnet. Shutter is an open-source project that aims to prevent front running on Ethereum by using a threshold cryptography-based Distributed Key Generation (DKG) protocol. In this blog post we will

Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) and front running are widely recognized to be among the final unsolved fundamental issues in the blockchain space. There are now hundreds of millions of dollars of documented MEV, most of which is tremendously harmful for users and traders. This problem will inevitably become more devastating
