Block Sessions: Killing the Mempool
Private, MEV-Free Trading with ZENDEX
The night before ETHGlobal kicks off. Before you disappear into 36 hours of hacking, come for a Block Session with substance.
On a public DEX, every trade you make is visible before it executes. Bots see it, front-run it, and you pay the price. That's the transparency tax, and it costs traders real money every day.
Tyler S. Miller is back at The Block, this time to show what he's building. ZENDEX is a privacy-first DEX using zero-knowledge circuits to hide order size and intent, matching trades privately and settling on Base. The thesis is simple, the mempool is a bug, not a feature. Expect a real breakdown of how shielded execution works, and why privacy is becoming the edge for serious on-chain capital. Bring your questions.
Then the floor opens. It's builder week, so we're keeping space for a quick demo from a builder in the room. If you're shipping something, come show it. Five minutes, no slides needed.
Talk, demos, drinks, snacks and the Lisbon Web3 crowd all in one room.
