Aptos has introduced an optional encrypted mempool on its mainnet via AIP-144, allowing transactions to be encrypted until block finality. This prevents block proposers from seeing transaction details, reducing front-running and maximal extractable value (MEV) risks. Validators collectively decrypt transactions only after finality, ensuring security with a stake-weight threshold. The feature adds minimal latency and has passed security audits, with wallets and exchanges like Petra and Decibel already supporting it to enhance transaction privacy.
Aptos' new encrypted mempool feature is the subject of this update.
