What is Private mempool

Mempool is now generally available.

Head over to the merkle blockchain services dashboard to get an API key.

The Merkle Private Pool is a service designed for wallet providers to monetize transactions while offering robust protection against front-running attacks, such as sandwiches. By directing signed transactions to our private pool, users can extract maximum value from their transactions and benefit from enhanced privacy and security.

Key Advantages

  • MEV Extraction: Our private pool leverages sophisticated mechanisms to extract Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) and returns it back to the sender. This innovative approach not only generates revenue for wallet providers but also offers cashback incentives to users. The flow-chart below illustrates how our backrun auction mechanism ensures privacy while extracting backrun MEV.

  • Faster Inclusion: Transactions sent to our private pool are forwarded directly to major builders, bypassing the public mempool. This prioritization results in faster inclusion in the next block. It is like skipping the line and placing your transactions at the forefront.

  • Transaction API: Our comprehensive Transaction API offers detailed status reports on transactions sent to the private pool. For more information, refer to the Transaction API Documentation.

  • Sandwich Protection: Transactions in the public mempool are vulnerable to front-running and sandwich attacks, leading to significant financial losses weekly. The Merkle Private Pool safeguards all transactions against these attacks, ensuring enhanced security.

  • Developer Dashboard: The Merkle Developer Dashboard provides an intuitive interface to track the status of your transactions in real-time. It also offers insights into your overall revenue generated through MEV extraction.

  • Compliance: Merkle ensures compliance with regulatory requirements by automatically blocking any non-compliant transactions, including those under OFAC sanctions.
