🕵️ Aptos to Launch Native Encrypted Mempool to Prevent Frontrunning and Censorship
Aptos will launch a native Encrypted Mempool to safeguard user transaction intent at the protocol layer, mitigating risks like frontrunning, censorship, and order-flow leakage.

Aptos Labs stated that its batched threshold encryption design allows this feature to be implemented with minimal impact on network latency and trust assumptions.
