🔬 RESEARCH: Batched Threshold Encryption is redefining how blockchains handle transaction privacy.Unlike standard threshold encryption, where each transaction requires separate decryption shares, BTE unlocks an entire batch with a single compact proof — drastically reducing data overhead.This constant-size design makes encrypted mempools scalable and practical for L2s like Metis and Espresso, offering a path to MEV-free, fair DeFi. ...

🔎 RESEARCH: Batched Threshold Encryption (BTE) could redefine fairness in DeFi.By encrypting transactions until block finalization, BTE blocks frontrunning and sandwich attacks; the core of extractive MEV.The latest BEAST-MEV upgrade pushes decryption times down to under 1 second for ~500 transactions, with only 6KB communication and silent, non-interactive setup, a massive leap from earlier models.Could this finally be the breakthrough to make DeFi fair, private, and trustless again? ...

⚡️ RESEARCH: MEV thrives on mempool transparency. Threshold encryption flips that script by keeping transaction payloads encrypted until they are ordered into a block.Shutter is one of the pioneers in using threshold encryption to tackle MEV. https://t.co/lN0RFKPy7S ...
