DeFi’s Biggest Scam Is Over. This Is How.

Front-running isn't a technical flaw in DeFi; it’s a structural imbalance built into the open mempool. For years, sophisticated bots and whales have exploited this visibility, paying higher gas fees to cut the line and extract value from your pending trades. It is the silent tax on decentralized trading. $INJ has finally engineered the kill switch.

They didn't try to fix the mempool; they redefined time within the protocol itself. When you submit an order on Injective, the details are encrypted—a 'hidden commitment.' Crucially, your device must then compute a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF). This computation is mandatory, sequential, and cannot be bypassed by faster hardware or higher fees. It enforces a fixed, cryptographic delay.

Only once the VDF proof is complete can the order be revealed. Because every participant must honor this exact time constraint, fee-based prioritization becomes irrelevant. All orders that complete their proof within the same batch window are matched at a single clearing price. This is fairness enforced mathematically, not economically. It guarantees that traders can focus on market analysis instead of fighting network manipulation. As my friend noted when I explained the VDF on a napkin: "Fairness isn't optional here—it’s baked in."

This is not financial advice.

#Ethereum - cercetătorul sub pseudonimul malik672 a propus un mecanism de formare a blocurilor Decentralized Random Block Proposal pentru a lupta împotriva centralizării și MEV în rețeaua celei de-a doua criptomonede ca capitalizare.
🟢 Conform planului său, clienții precum #Geth și #Nethermind folosesc o funcție, similară cu Verifiable Delay Function (#VDF ) la validatori, pentru a selecta aleatoriu tranzacții din mempool-ul local. Apoi, participanții transmit simultan blocul colectat validatorilor, care filtrează tranzacțiile invalide și calculează hash-ul.
🟢 Expertul consideră că, datorită selecției aleatoare a tranzacțiilor, manipulările MEV la nivel de bloc vor deveni imposibile — nimeni nu știe ce operațiuni vor fi incluse în set și nu poate influența ordinea acestora.
🟢 În plus, un astfel de mecanism este mai rezistent la #DDoSAttack — „spam-ul” este distribuit uniform în mempool, fără a supraîncărca nodurile individuale

The Mempool Is Dead. Fairness Is Now Mandatory.

Front-running isn't a technical weakness in DeFi, it's a structural imbalance rooted in the visible mempool. Whales pay higher gas fees on chains like $ETH to cut the line, extracting value from your trades. $INJ is fundamentally changing this dynamic.

Instead of relying on economic prioritization—who pays more—Injective enforces temporal fairness using cryptographic timing. When an order is submitted, it is encrypted. You send only a commitment to the network. Simultaneously, your device must compute a Verifiable Delay Function (VDF)—a mandatory, fixed-duration process that cannot be accelerated by specialized hardware.

Until that time elapses, the order remains hidden. This mechanism ensures every single order is delayed equally, rendering fee prioritization irrelevant. By integrating this VDF with a Frequent Batch Auction model, all transactions arriving within the window are matched at a single clearing price. This is a profound philosophical shift: fairness is not optional, it is mathematically guaranteed. Traders can now focus entirely on market movement instead of network manipulation.
