Aptos launches opt-in encrypted mempool on mainnet to reduce MEV attacks

Aptos has launched its Encrypted Mempool on mainnet, according to a social media post announcing the launch.

Users can opt in to encrypt transaction details until block ordering is finalized, which the post says lowers the risk of MEV attacks.

The post says the feature is meant for traders, institutions, AI agents, and builders. Its claims come from the launch announcement and have not been independently verified in the report.
