Encrypted Mempools

The uncomfortable truth about trust-based MEV protections is that they are effective—until they fail.

Censorship resistance and decentralization are core to public blockchains, ensuring open, permissionless access. But in today’s world of bots, AI, and memecoin mania, these founding principles are too often forgotten.

Privacy-preserving computation is key to Web3’s future. This post explores cryptographic tools like FHE, MPC, and iO—and why trust in distributed committees, like Shutter’s Keypers, is essential for keeping data private and systems decentralized.

Shutter proposes the clearest path to winning BNB Chain’s war against malicious MEV - an encrypted mempool.

The agentic future of finance isn’t coming—it’s already here. Platforms like Bankr, Nani, and others have made it easier than ever for crypto traders to execute transactions with just a simple command. No manual calculations, no navigating complex interfaces—just type and trade. But here’s the

MEV costs traders billions and turns blockchain into a rigged system. Is this the inevitable future, or can we fix it before it's too late?

Shutter Network core contributor Loring Harkness tells The Agenda podcast that MEV attacks are making crypto unfair and insecure for everyday users.

Blockchain was meant to create a fair financial system—but instead, it’s become a playground for bots that silently steal billions from users through MEV exploitation says Loring Harkness.

We are excited to announce the release of "The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum," a white paper that outlines an essential advancement in Ethereum's transaction infrastructure. This research is now available on the Ethresearch forum and presents a structured roadmap for implementing threshold
