Universal Enshrined Encrypted Mempool EIP

EIP-8105 is a necessary step if Ethereum is to meaningfully address pre-execution information leakage. It enables real censorship resistance and plausible deniability for block proposers by protecting transaction contents prior to execution, while also mitigating malicious frontrunning. The result is better execution quality for end users and stronger legal and operational protections for truly decentralized validators, protections that are not achieved by today’s relatively centralized private order flow architectures.

Importantly, EIP-8105 is scheme-agnostic and neutral by design. It does not introduce new security assumptions into Ethereum’s core protocol, and instead allows users and developers to choose providers that best meet their performance, trust, and security requirements. This flexibility avoids hard-coding a single solution into the protocol and preserves Ethereum’s long-term adaptability.

Fairblock supports EIP-8105 and intends to participate as a Key Provider across multiple cryptographic schemes, including threshold IBE and homomorphic encryption, serving a range of application-specific needs.

Protocol-level encrypted transactions via multiple key providers seems like a practical way to reduce MEV and censorship while enabling multiple approaches. The team at Nillion supports this effort.
