How Batched Threshold Encryption Could End Extractive MEV and Make DeFi Fair Again

Batched Threshold Encryption (BTE) is a potential solution to the extractive Maximal Extractable Value (MEV) problem plaguing decentralized finance (DeFi). BTE builds upon the idea of threshold cryptography, allowing multiple parties to collaborate securely without compromising sensitive data. While still in its prototype and research stages, this technology could significantly reshape how ledgers operate if successful. This article delves into the potential benefits of BTE and explores existing solutions and challenges.
