Every Ethereum user has felt this.
You submit a trade. You click mint. You hit send. Moments later, you get a worse price, miss the NFT, or watch your transaction stall.
This is not a wallet problem, not a DEX problem, not a user mistake. It's how Ethereum handles transactions by default. Before a transaction is confirmed, it sits visible in the public mempool. Bots, builders, and others can see your intent and use that visibility to extract value from you with front-running and sandwich attacks.
The LUCID Encrypted Mempool EIP changes this default. It let's you send transactions that stay hidden from absolutely everyone until your transaction is locked in by the chain.
By integrating a native encrypted mempool into Ethereum, this EIP removes the conditions that enable front running, sandwich attacks, and real-time censorship.
We've come together to rally support to Encrypt the Mempool! in the next Ethereum upgrade, I-fork.
