Solving Front-Running and MEV Problem

one of the biggest issues in defi that Hedger on @Dusk is solving is front running and MEV extraction. if you trade on dexes regularly you know this pain

so MEV means maximal extractable value, basically bots that watch the mempool for your transactions and then front run them to profit at your expense. they see your trade before it executes, place their own trade ahead of yours, and extract value from the price movement.

this happens constantly on ethereum and costs traders billions with Hedgers confidential perpetual exchange on $DUSK this becomes impossible. because transactions are private, bots cant see your trades in the mempool before they execute. they dont know your opening a position, what size it is, or what price your targeting. no visibility means no front running this is especially important for leveraged trading where even small amounts of slippage from MEV can be the difference between profit and getting liquidated. when your using 10x or 20x leverage, having bots sandwich attack your trades is devastating

the cool part is this isnt some theoretical future tech, its being built right now on DuskEVM testnet. Hedger is using dusks zero knowledge proofs to keep order details private while still settling everything onchain transparently for regulators

honestly think MEV is one of the main reasons institutions havent embraced defi more.

why would a professional trading firm use protocols where every trade gets front run by bots? confidential execution fixes this problem completely and makes defi actually usable for serious traders this is what actual innovation looks like, not just copying existing dex designs but fundamentally rethinking how trading should work with privacy built in from the start #Dusk
