Decibel Trade activates Aptos' Encrypted Mempool, letting traders hide pending order details from validators to reduce frontrunning and sandwich attacks.
Aptos activated the Encrypted Mempool on October 12, 2026 to hide the content of pending transactions and hinder frontrunning and sandwich attacks. Decibel Trade plans to integrate it into its platform, although the function does not render all transactions anonymous and its impact on performance will have to be assessed with use.
