Gnosis Shutter enhances transaction privacy and security on the Gnosis Chain. It allows users to encrypt their transactions to prevent frontrunning and censorship, with decryption and execution only occurring when they are ready to be included in a blockchain block.
- Encryption of Transactions: Users can encrypt transactions using a public 'eon key' before submission.
- Decentralized Decryption: Managed by a group of nodes called keypers, who ensure secure transaction decryption.
- Enhanced Security: Transactions are decrypted only when they are ready to be included in a block, enhancing security and privacy.
- Opt-in System: Users can choose between sending encrypted transactions or using the standard plaintext format.
- Shutter Timer: Track when next shutter validator will include transactions from sequencer to the block.
- Node.js (version 22.3.0)
- A compatible wallet (e.g., Brave Wallet)
