Shutter API is Getting Smarter If you’ve been following our work, you already know what Shutter API is all about - bringing fairness, privacy, and trust-minimization to dApps through commit-reveal threshold encryption. In simple terms, it lets dApps keep sensitive data - like votes, bids, or game moves -

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

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

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

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.

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.
