Private Mempool
A transaction submission channel that bypasses the public mempool, sending transactions directly to block builders or validators to prevent front-running and sandwich attacks. Services like Flashbots Protect, MEV Blocker, and various RPC endpoints offer private mempool access, shielding users from MEV extraction. By keeping transactions invisible until they are included in a block, private mempools significantly reduce the value leaked to searchers and bots.
