Instadapp is integrated with Alchemy's Flashbots API enabling you to submit your transaction directly to the Ethereum miners.
Private Transactions improves the success rate of your transaction by skipping the public mempool this prevents frontrunners from congesting or creating slippage in front of your transaction. Private Transactions can also protect from other forms of MEV attacks and maintains users privacy even when transactions fail.
Open the Global Settings next to the Network selector, you will find a toggle for Private Transaction here. Once activated all transactions from your DSA will be send privately.
You will also see the private transaction icon in your transaction preview window before sending your transaction.
When using Private Transactions you sign a signature from your wallet instead of sending a transaction. This enables the relayer to complete your private transaction. If your transaction fails for any reason the information of your transaction is never shared publicly.
Thats it! Your transaction is now sent directly to miners and executes without even entering the public mempool. You can find your transaction pending in the transaction receipt panel and on-chain after it is confirmed.
Unlike most web3 signing which does not generate a transaction. Your signature here does sign a transaction that is sent to be executed through a relayer. When using Private Transactions you will see a warning like this in the transaction review window:
Metamask 10.25 and up require you to activate this signing method within the wallet before you can use it. Need help locating this setting? See: How to enable ETH_Sign on Metamask
Executable Signatures are dangerous and carry risk. Executable signatures can be used to perform any action on your account. Please exercise extreme caution! Due to the increased risk some wallets do not support these kinds of transactions.
Private Transactions are an evolution of MEV Boost and other technical attempts to better prevent and protect users from front running and other abuses. You can learn more about the mechanisms behind Private Transactions here:
