Aptos has launched its Encrypted Mempool feature on mainnet, allowing users to encrypt transaction details until validators finalize their order, protecting against frontrunning, sandwich attacks, and other MEV exploits. This optional feature keeps transaction instructions hidden while still showing sender addresses and fees, adding minimal latency and requiring higher gas fees. The system uses the existing validator network for both ordering and decryption, enhancing security without external parties. Despite the launch, Aptos' native token APT fell over 11% in 24 hours, trading below $0.80. The feature targets institutional traders and users seeking privacy, with wallets like Petra and exchanges like Decibel adopting it for private transactions.
Following Aptos' launch of the Encrypted Mempool feature, the APT token has seen a notable decline on Pluang. As of Oct 13, 2026 12:21 WIB, APT trades at Rp15.000 with a 1-day change of -6.71%. Market activity shows a 64% sell order ratio and a typical hold time of 35 days among Pluang users, indicating cautious sentiment despite the new privacy enhancement.
