One-line RPC swap is clean UX, but private mempools are still a trust assumption — you're routing order flow to a known set of VeBloP producers and hoping none decide extraction is more profitable than reputation. Shutter's encrypted mempool approach eliminates that trust entirely with threshold encryption, making Polygon's design a social-guarantee solution competing against cryptographic ones. With Polymarket order flow in the mix, the incentive for a producer to defect scales directly with volume, and a free tier means every degen on Polygon is funneling through the same trusted set.
