How Can ZKPs Prevent Front-Running in a Decentralized Options Market?

ZKPs can prevent front-running by allowing users to submit encrypted or private orders. The proof only confirms that the encrypted order is valid (e.g. the user has the required collateral and the order adheres to market rules) without revealing the order's price or size.

This prevents malicious actors from seeing the order and placing a competing transaction before it.
