MEV vs. SBA: How Dusk Engineers Market Stability
In the world of institutional finance, stability isn't just about speed—it’s about fairness. On many public blockchains, users are exploited by MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) and front-running. This happens when bots "peek" at pending transactions in the mempool to jump ahead of orders, creating an "invisible tax" that undermines trust.
@Dusk foundation solves this instability at the protocol level through its "Privacy-by-Design" architecture.
How it Works:
Shielded Mempool: On the #Dusk network, transaction details (assets, amounts, and participants) are encrypted using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) before they reach the mempool. Because the data is hidden, MEV bots lose their "surface signals"—they cannot see the trades, so they cannot front-run them.
SBA (Segregated Byzantine Agreement): Dusk’s unique SBA consensus mechanism adds another layer of defense. Unlike leader-based systems where block producers are known in advance, SBA uses cryptographic sortition to select validators randomly and anonymously. This prevents MEV searchers from coordinating with validators to manipulate transaction ordering.
Combined with Instant Deterministic Finality, the window for exploiting users is virtually closed. By neutralizing these extractive behaviors, $DUSK ensures a level playing field where institutions and retail traders alike can operate with total certainty.
Stability on Dusk isn't just a claim—it is a cryptographic guarantee. 🛡️🌐 #Dusk
