BlindPerm: Efficient MEV Mitigation with an Encrypted Mempool and Permutation
Abstract
To mitigate the negative effects of Maximal Extraction Value (MEV), we propose and explore techniques that utilize randomized permutation to shuffle the order of transactions in a committed block before they are executed. We also show that existing MEV mitigation approaches based on encrypted mempools can be extended by permutation-based techniques to provide multi-layer protection. With a focus on BFT style consensus we then propose $\textsf{BlindPerm}$, a framework enhancing an encrypted mempool with permutation at essentially no overheads and present various optimizations. Our protocol neither adds any extra latency nor requires any additional services. Finally, we demonstrate how to extend our mitigation technique to support PoW longest-chain consensus protocols.
