đš Aptos Just Launched an Encrypted Mempool on Mainnet
Aptos has activated its opt-in Encrypted Mempool, letting users hide pending transaction detailsâsuch as the function called and its inputsâuntil validators finalize the block. The feature is designed to reduce MEV risks like frontrunning and sandwich attacks. [1988][1989]
The catch: Itâs optional, requires a compatible wallet or app, and encrypted transactions pay twice the base minimum gas price plus extra decryption gas. Sender addresses and gas fees remain visible. [1989]
The takeaway: Itâs a live privacy upgrade, but adoptionânot just the launchâwill determine whether it meaningfully reduces MEV exposure on Aptos.
