Aptos launches Encrypted Mempool: How does it work?

Aptos has launched its Encrypted Mempool feature on mainnet, allowing users to hide pending transaction details until validators finalize their order, as its native APT token fell more than 11% over 24 hours. Aptos confirmed the October 12 launch, saying the optional feature was designed to protect traders from frontrunning, sandwich attacks and other forms of maximal extractable value (MEV). The system encrypts transaction contents before they reach the network, preventing validators and outside observers from viewing the instructions while transactions await ordering. Once a block is finalized, validators collectively decrypt its contents and execute the transactions.
