š Aptos can now hide transactions
Encrypted Mempool has launched on the Aptos mainnetāa mechanism that encrypts transaction contents before they are ordered in a block.
This makes front-running and sandwich attacks more difficult, where bots snoop on other peopleās transactions and profit from executing them.
š¹ Encryption is optional
š¹ The senderās address and fee remain visible
š¹ The data is revealed after the block is confirmed
The protection requires a higher fee, but tests showed it added only about 20 ms of latency
