Death to MEV bots, encrypt the mempool.

In the near future, everyone will be protected against malicious MEV—by default. That's what Shutter is building. https://www.shutter.network/
🎉 Happy 10th Birthday, Ethereum

Wherever you are in the world, take a moment to drop a message & photo into the Ethereum Time Capsule.

Encrypted mempools aren’t perfect - but they’re powerful. They greatly reduce sandwich attacks, centralization & censorship.

Here’s our view on a16z Crypto’s take on their limits, based on what we’ve learned deploying them:

Shutter's Loring Harkness hit the ground EthCC[8] asking: What do people really know about MEV?

Good? Bad? The answers might surprise you.

One thing was clear: people want to be protected by default, no special RPC or wallet, a true zero-click solution.

Encrypted mempools are the only real protection against malicious MEV.

We built a small showcase for the new Shutter API called Shutter Predict, a dApp that lets you make predictions.

Make predictions or statements about anything, commit it on-chain, and have it revealed automatically in the future!

Give it a try!

Tomorrow, we unveil a whitepaper with a roadmap that challenges the status quo and paves the way for a system where MEV isn’t a tax on users, where transactions can’t be censored at will, and where fairness isn’t an afterthought—it’s the foundation.

It’s time to choose your path
Every day, traders lose millions to predators—bots that manipulate transactions, extract value, and tilt the playing field.

Censorship is creeping in, and fair access is slipping away. This isn’t what crypto was supposed to be.

But there’s a choice. Two paths lie ahead.
