Encrypted Mempools

Transaction sequencing can get overlooked in decentralized markets but can significantly impact user outcomes. Let's delve deeper into this subject and explore a few possible transaction sequencing strategies in the context of Automated Market Makers (AMMs) in decentralized finance (DeFi.) To better understand our topic, let's

We are excited to announce the Shutterized Optimism testnet L2 launch on Sepolia. This launch marks the availability of a Shutterized encrypted mempool for the OP Stack, aiming to prevent front-running and provide a censorship-resistant trading environment. There's still some work to do to make this a fully-fledged,

The Shutter ecosystem has reached a critical point in terms of technological readiness, ecosystem collaborations, and community participation. As a core developer of Shutter, we would like to take this opportunity to share our vision for what Shutter is all about and explain why it matters. Base Layer Neutrality, Information

We are excited to announce a collaboration between Shutter and Espresso, marking a significant leap forward in our quest to enhance information symmetry, base layer neutrality, security, and fairness for Ethereum and L2s. This partnership aims to introduce an encrypted mempool for the Espresso sequencer network, leveraging Shutter's

Mode and Shutter are thrilled to announce the launch of a Shutterized Mode testnet within the next three weeks! This means a significant step towards a fully MEV-aware Mode and a safer, more censorship-resistant, front-running protected, and base layer neutral Mode. We also see the encrypted mempool as a critical

We're thrilled to unveil the latest milestone in our journey towards building an encrypted, Shutterized mempool for the OP Stack, marking a significant leap towards a more secure, front-running, and censorship-resistant Optimism ecosystem. This announcement not only encapsulates the completion of pivotal phases in our project but also

Thanks to @felipeargento from Cartesi for feedback and input on this blog post! Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) is gaining an advantage by positioning transactions strategically in a blockchain block. It's significant in areas like high-frequency trading and DeFi, affecting profits and trade outcomes. The Cartesi Virtual Machine introduces

Today marks a significant chapter in the progress of our grant by the Optimism Collective. We are proud to announce the completion of all deliverables and milestones in our project to research and evaluate an encrypted mempool for the OP Stack. This achievement is not just a technical feat; it&

We are thrilled to announce that the first two deliverables of our OP Grant have been finished. The approved proposal will tackle the challenges of front-running and Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) within the decentralized landscape. With the first two deliverables completed, we are on our way toward integration of a
