$APT 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.

This mechanism conceals transaction details during block ordering and decrypts them before execution, ensuring confirmed transactions are recorded on-chain as usual. Aptos Labs stated that its batched threshold encryption design allows this feature to be implemented with minimal impact on network latency and trust assumptions.
