PROTECTING APTOS DEFI VALUE
Our Move-Based MEV Protection Framework
A modular, on-chain framework built directly into your Aptos Move smart contracts to detect, mitigate, and extract value from MEV threats before they impact your users.
01
Front-Running & Sandwich Attack Detection
Real-time mempool monitoring and transaction simulation to identify predatory trading patterns targeting your DEX or lending pool before they are executed.

TANGIBLE ROI FOR DEFI PROJECTS
Business Outcomes of MEV-Resistant Design
Implementing MEV protection on Aptos isn't just a technical feature—it's a strategic business advantage. Our Move-based solutions deliver measurable improvements to your protocol's core metrics and user trust.
01
Increased User Trust & Retention
Users transact with confidence knowing their trades are protected from front-running and sandwich attacks. This directly reduces churn and builds a loyal user base, a critical factor for TVL growth.

PROVEN METHODOLOGY
Our Delivery Process for Aptos MEV Security
A structured, four-phase engagement model designed to deliver production-ready MEV protection, from initial risk assessment to ongoing monitoring. We ensure your Aptos DeFi protocol is secure, performant, and compliant from day one.
01
Phase 1: MEV Threat Assessment & Architecture
We conduct a deep-dive analysis of your protocol's transaction flow to identify front-running, sandwiching, and arbitrage vulnerabilities. Deliverables include a detailed threat model and a tailored security architecture blueprint for the Move-based MEV protection system.

Implementation & Strategy
Move MEV Protection: Key Questions for Founders
Essential considerations for Aptos DeFi founders evaluating MEV protection solutions. Get clear answers on timelines, security, and integration.
A standard Move-based MEV protection module deployment takes 2-4 weeks from kickoff to mainnet launch. This includes smart contract development, integration with your existing Aptos DeFi protocol, and a full security audit. Complex protocols with custom order flow logic may extend to 6-8 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan within the first 48 hours of engagement.
