CoW swap is amazing! But wouldn’t it be extra amazing if ALL Ethereum users were protected from toxic MEV and real-time censorship? That’s why we still need an encrypted public mempool.
Jun 12
#CoWGlossary: MEV bots 🤖 MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) bots lurk in the mempool waiting to profit off your transactions - by rearranging, including, or excluding them at just the right moment. Some are harmless. Others are quietly making your trades worse. CoW Swap users don't have to think about this. 😉

Normies, degens, institutions — nobody should have their transactions front-run or censored. The Encrypt the Mempool Coalition is pushing to make that a reality via an EIP in Ethereum’s I* Hardfork. Credibly neutral Ethereum is worth fighting for. 📷 | encryptedmempool.org/

$VEIL We are a missing a core token of Base. I assume non launchpad tokens not auto picked up? Can @base do something.

Final post! You still have a few more hours to get Melee 2 voting power. Buy SHU on the SHU/USDC Uniswap v2 pool on Ethereum Mainnet (EOD June 10) and hold it (through EOD July 10). Links ⬇️. Then vote on Snapshot on July 14-17. Only 74K more SHU to reach our goal.

Anyone who cares about privacy should support an EIP to encrypt the public mempool. ❌ Plaintext transactions show your data to toxic MEV bots, who steal your $$$. ❌ "Private mempools" don't work & promote centralization. ✅ Only an encrypted public mempool can protect us!

Soooooo close! Get your Melee 2 voting power. TODAY (June 10) is the last day.
Last day to get voting power for Melee 2! Only 125,146 SHU away reaching the 1M minimum Reminder: The ONLY way to get Melee 2 voting power is to buy SHU on the SHU/USDC Uniswap v2 pool on Ethereum Mainnet (now - June 10) and hold it (through July 10) 👇

Institutions need an encrypted public mempool
Learnt about the 3 things institutions want to be sure of before coming on Ethereum @ethconf 1. the counterparty they trade with isn't sanctioned 2. they aren't paying a sanctioned entity (such as N korea validating their blocks) 3. they aren't frontrun via mev There are proposals of separate set of "institutional blocks" that are from attested, US based validators. Apparently adoption of commit boost by validators plays a part in enabling this I'm still unsure how & whether it affects censorship resistance, if users can start to choose the category of validators they want for their blocks
