Ethereum Time Capsule | Be Part of Ethereum’s Living History To celebrate Ethereum’s 10th anniversary, we created the Ethereum Time Capsule — privately sealed now, revealed one year later, and immutably recorded onchain forever.

🎉 Happy 10th Birthday, Ethereum

Wherever you are in the world, take a moment to drop a message & photo into the Ethereum Time Capsule.

Let’s mark this milestone together: www.ethtimecapsule.com

On the Limits of Encrypted Mempools – A Response to a16z Crypto’s Analysts Encrypted mempools aren’t perfect - but they’re powerful. Our response to a16z Crypto highlights real-world progress and where views diverge.

Encrypted mempools aren’t perfect - but they’re powerful. They greatly reduce sandwich attacks, centralization & censorship.

Here’s our view on a16z Crypto’s take on their limits, based on what we’ve learned deploying them:

Shutter's Loring Harkness hit the ground EthCC[8] asking: What do people really know about MEV?

Good? Bad? The answers might surprise you.

One thing was clear: people want to be protected by default, no special RPC or wallet, a true zero-click solution.

Why Encryption Is the Only Real Protection Against MEV The uncomfortable truth about trust-based MEV protections is that they are effective—until they fail.

Encrypted mempools are the only real protection against malicious MEV.

Why all other MEV solutions fail - and encrypted transactions are the only true defense👇

Shutter Predict: A Mini-dApp for Encrypted Predictions To showcase our recently launched Shutter API, we built Shutter Predict, a simple mini dApp that allows you to make a prediction.

We built a small showcase for the new Shutter API called Shutter Predict, a dApp that lets you make predictions.

Make predictions or statements about anything, commit it on-chain, and have it revealed automatically in the future!

Give it a try!

Unveiling The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum We are excited to announce the release of "The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum" white paper.

On Tue we announced the white paper "The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum"

It provides a roadmap for implementing a threshold-encrypted mempool using proposer commitments, aimed at integrating with Ethereum's PBS transaction supply chain

The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum by Frederik Lührs, Luis Bezzenberger, Francesco Mosterts, Sebastian Faust, Andreas Erwig Many thanks to Julian Ma, Drew Van der Werff, Ale...

Ethereum's transaction supply chain is broken.

Today, we're publishing a new implementation roadmap.

The Road Towards a Distributed Encrypted Mempool On Ethereum.

This could change Ethereum forever.

blog.shutter.network/unveiling-th...

Tomorrow, we unveil a whitepaper with a roadmap that challenges the status quo and paves the way for a system where MEV isn’t a tax on users, where transactions can’t be censored at will, and where fairness isn’t an afterthought—it’s the foundation.

It’s time to choose your path

Every day, traders lose millions to predators—bots that manipulate transactions, extract value, and tilt the playing field.

Censorship is creeping in, and fair access is slipping away. This isn’t what crypto was supposed to be.

But there’s a choice. Two paths lie ahead.
