Decibel Trade switches on Aptos’ Encrypted Mempool to shield trader orders

The Aptos-incubated exchange now lets users encrypt order details before they hit the chain, aiming to blunt frontrunning and sandwich attacks Decibel Trade has turned on Aptos ’ Encrypted Mempool. Traders on the onchain exchange can now hide the details of their orders while those transactions are still pending. Think of a mempool as a public waiting room. Transactions sit there before validators bundle them into a block, and anyone watching can see who is in line and what they plan to do. That visibility is the problem.
