Aptos enabled an optional encrypted mempool on its mainnet to combat front-running and Maximum Extractable Value (MEV) attacks. According to crypto-economy.com, the monthly circulating supply unlocks for the APT token have simultaneously dropped by 60% following the conclusion of the vesting schedule for early participants.
The encrypted mempool serves as a transaction-privacy mechanism tied to block finalization, designed to protect traders from automated bots. This reduction in monthly token emissions occurs as the initial four-year vesting period for early investors has concluded, potentially easing inflationary pressure on the ecosystem.
