Aptos proposes encrypted mempool to shield trades from frontrunning

  • —Proposal-to-execution latency rises by 27 ms, or 14% over baseline
  • —Remaining online phase takes under 20 ms per batch
  • —Aptos has committed over $50 million to products, research and trading infrastructure
  • —Launch requires governance approval
Why it matters: Native MEV and frontrunning protection could draw large onchain orderflow to Aptos if governance approves the rollout.
