How Do ‘Commit-Reveal’ Schemes Mitigate Front-Running?

A commit-reveal scheme is a two-step process. First, a user "commits" their transaction by submitting a cryptographic hash of their trade details, keeping the actual data secret.

Second, after the commit is finalized, the user "reveals" the actual trade details. This prevents front-runners from seeing the transaction's contents until it is too late to profit from reordering.
