Aptos Adds Encrypted Mempool to Limit Trading Exploits
Aptos has introduced an optional feature that conceals pending transaction details until their execution order is set.
Aptos has rolled out an Encrypted Mempool feature aimed at curbing frontrunning and sandwich attacks, according to Cointelegraph.
The optional feature keeps transaction details hidden until the order of transactions has been finalized. This limits the information bots can use to exploit trades that are still pending.
Frontrunning and sandwich attacks rely on positioning transactions around a targeted trade. Concealing its details during the ordering process is intended to prevent bots from using that information to their advantage.
