Fluton Research Series 6/20: Privacy as MEV Protection In Post 5, I explored how @FlutonIO can compute on encrypted data without exposing it. That privacy has another important consequence: It can reduce the information available to MEV extractors. Most people experience MEV without realizing it. You submit a trade. Before it settles, bots can detect its size, direction, slippage tolerance, and likely market impact. That information creates opportunities for front-running, sandwich attacks, back-running, and strategy copying. The problem is not only that transactions are public after execution. They are often visible while still waiting to be executed. Your pending transaction becomes a signal. Fluton attempts to remove that signal through encrypted intents. The user’s desired action is encrypted before it enters the execution flow. Solvers can compete to fulfill the intent without receiving its sensitive plaintext parameters, while the user chooses between offers based on priorities such as cost or speed. This changes the information structure. A solver may know that an opportunity exists. But it should not automatically know the private details needed to exploit the user. That distinction matters because many MEV defenses try to repair execution after transaction data has already leaked. Fluton’s approach is more fundamental: Prevent the valuable information from becoming public in the first place. Privacy therefore becomes more than personal secrecy. It becomes execution protection. The less the network can observe about an unfinished action, the harder it becomes to trade against that action before settlement. Fluton’s documentation describes confidential execution as protecting strategy, size, routing preferences, and conditions throughout the action lifecycle. This does not mean every form of MEV disappears automatically. Solvers, pricing mechanisms, settlement rules, liquidity conditions, and implementation details still matter. But encrypted intents could remove one of MEV’s most important resources: Advance knowledge of what the user is about to do. In traditional markets, hiding an order until execution is considered normal protection. Onchain, Fluton is trying to make that protection programmable.
