How Do Commit-Reveal Schemes on DEXs Specifically Prevent Front-Running?

A commit-reveal scheme is a cryptographic technique where a user first "commits" to their trade (sends a hashed version of the order) without revealing the details. This commitment is placed on-chain.

Later, the user "reveals" the actual order and the network verifies the reveal matches the commitment. Since the order details are hidden until the reveal phase, no one, including miners or validators, can front-run the trade based on its size or price.
