Shutter develops infrastructure that encrypts transactions before they are ordered, preventing front-running and sandwich attacks at the protocol level. A core part of this work is Shielded Voting, a feature that has protected more than 881 DAOs and encrypted over 372,914 votes, built in collaboration with Snapshot. Shutter also introduced EIP-8105, a proposal for a Universal Enshrined Encrypted Mempool on Ethereum, pushing threshold encryption toward native protocol adoption.
Shutter is affiliated with Shutter DAO 0x36, the governance body whose native token, SHU, funds ongoing development and elects Shutter Keypers, the distributed set of nodes that manage threshold decryption keys. SHU is deployed on Ethereum mainnet and bridged to Gnosis Chain, Base, and OP Mainnet. Shutter also works alongside Gnosis, Primev, Chainbound, Nethermind, Erigon, MEV Blocker, and the Encrypt the Mempool! Coalition to advance censorship-resistant transaction infrastructure across the Ethereum ecosystem.
