The First Shutterized Testnet Is Now Live on Chiado!

The Shutterized Chiado testnet, a Gnosis Chain testnet, is now live, described as the first live implementation of the Shutter protocol on a full testnet and the complete first stage of Shutterized Gnosis Chain integration. Users can opt in by switching to a dedicated Shutterized RPC endpoint, which encrypts transactions so that front running is harder, while validators can opt in by registering through a smart contract and manually signing the transaction. The article notes that Nethermind's client has been updated to support Shutterized transactions, that other clients do not yet support them, and that brainbot operates the relay for the testnet. It also states that a minimum threshold of opting-in validators is needed to avoid large gaps between blocks containing encrypted transactions.
