Aptos at $0.85 as Avery Ching calls for encrypted mempools to block MEV, contrasting centralized order flow systems.

According to @star_okx, OKX Wallet now offers decentralized exchange (DEX) trading on Solana with 350ms execution speed, integrating MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) protection. This ensures traders are safeguarded against sandwich attacks and reduces unnecessary slippage, enhancing both performance and security for on-chain transactions.

According to @binance, intent-based trades in DeFi let users specify desired outcomes while specialist solvers execute transactions to meet those outcomes, shifting execution away from end users toward solver competition.

According to @AveryChing, DecibelTrade’s first testnet ships a Decibel Liquidity Provider vault (DLP), on-chain risk management, a backend trading API with Builder Codes, Chainlink price oracle integration, MEV protection, cross-chain accounts with 1-click trading, user-managed vaults, subaccounts, a portfolio module, and a dynamic fee structure; source: @AveryChing on X, Nov 21, 2025. According to @AveryChing, the codebase exceeds 75,000 lines of Move and includes contributions from GeomiDev on design and UI; source: @AveryChing on X, Nov 21, 2025. According to @AveryChing, the team describes it as probably the biggest Move project ever built, notes that DEXs still have a long way to reach their final form, and actively requests user feedback to improve the testnet; source: @AveryChing on X, Nov 21, 2025.

According to @TO, many mechanisms exist to prevent token launch sniping but teams underuse them, raising trader exposure to predatory fills.

According to @AveryChing, DecibelTrade will launch its testnet this week, positioning itself as the first fully decentralized exchange while emphasizing CEX-like execution speed for traders, fairness, and MEV protection enabled by next-gen trading infrastructure (source: @AveryChing on X, Nov 18, 2025). The announcement also highlights a favorable regulatory backdrop as part of the timing rationale, framing a near-term window for on-chain trading evaluation of execution quality and MEV resilience (source: @AveryChing on X, Nov 18, 2025).

According to @AveryChing, @rex1fernando, @gvamsip, @xosmig, and @XiangZhuolun presented the first integration of encrypted mempools with a high-performance BFT protocol using next-gen batch encryption to block front-running and sandwich MEV on exchanges, enabling fair-order trading engines. Source: X post by @AveryChing on Nov 8, 2025. He adds that retail orders on apps like Robinhood often route to market makers such as Citadel via payment for order flow, and CEX users cannot verify whether exchanges front-run or reorder transactions, underscoring the fairness gap this tech aims to fix. Source: X post by @AveryChing on Nov 8, 2025. He states MEV-protective tech like this will become standard, indicating a roadmap for exchanges to adopt encrypted mempool and BFT-based ordering to protect traders from MEV extraction.
