AI agents face critical scaling barriers due to blockchain transparency issues that expose their strategies to exploitation.​

Key privacy challenges:

  • MEV bots front-run agent transactions
  • Trading strategies get copied by competitors
  • User identities become exposed (doxxed)

The proposed solution involves implementing onchain privacy through encrypted execution, allowing agents to operate without revealing their strategies or user data.​

This privacy infrastructure could be essential for mass adoption of autonomous agents in DeFi and other blockchain applications.​

Without privacy protection, agents remain vulnerable to predatory behavior that undermines their effectiveness.​

BITE Protocol Whitepaper Released: A Consensus-Layer Solution to MEV

BITE Protocol Whitepaper Released: A Consensus-Layer Solution to MEV

The BITE (Blockchain Integrated Threshold Encryption) Protocol whitepaper has been released, introducing a novel approach to eliminate MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) attacks that have cost users nearly $2B since 2020. Key features: - Implements threshold encryption at consensus layer - Encrypts transactions before mempool entry - Decryption occurs only after finalization - No reliance on secondary networks The protocol's roadmap includes: 1. Transaction encryption 2. Smart contract data protection 3. Selective disclosure capabilities 4. Fully homomorphic encryption integration Read the whitepaper: [BITE Protocol Whitepaper](http://skale.space/BITEWhitePaper)
