MARA taps Peter Todd to lead its private mempool Slipstream
- —Todd co-authored BIP 125 (Replace-By-Fee) and created OpenTimestamps
- —Slipstream hides transactions from the public mempool until they are mined into a block
- —The service has been used for large Ordinals inscriptions and research projects Binohash and Quantum Safe Bitcoin
Why it matters: Private mempools reduce attack vectors that rely on public transaction data and could shift how miners process transactions.
