EIP-8105: A new design for Ethereum’s encrypted mempool
Ethereum users lose over $60 million annually to malicious MEV. Learn how EIP-8105 aims to address it with an encrypted mempool on the protocol level.
➤ EIP-8105 proposes an encrypted mempool for Ethereum to combat MEV (Miner Extractable Value) and sandwich attacks, which cost users millions annually. ➤ The design is scheme-agnostic, supporting various encryption methods via a 'key provider registry' and introduces new transaction types for encrypted and decrypted payloads. ➤ While not a primary feature for the next hard fork, EIP-8105's concepts are influencing Ethereum's roadmap for protocol-level MEV mitigation.
