Polygon launches private mempool to provide MEV protection

Foresight News reports that Polygon has announced the launch of Private Mempool, a private transaction submission endpoint that protects each transaction from front-running and sandwich attacks. The Private Mempool safeguards transaction order, preventing submitted transactions from being intercepted and reordered before confirmation. Courtyard requires reliable transaction inclusion, and direct integration with the producer path can effectively reduce confirmation delays.

The Private Mempool provides MEV protection and is now live. Confidential payments, dedicated block space, and stable fees will be provided next. The Private Mempool has a free version available to all Polygon applications. The paid enterprise version offers higher throughput, rate limiting, SLA, and redundancy mechanisms, suitable for production workloads. The paid version requires API key access. Payment methods include stablecoins and POL.
