## ShieldNode

**Enhanced Privacy:** ShieldNode offers advanced privacy settings allowing users to choose between keeping their transactions confidential or sharing more details with executors for increased rewards. With ShieldNode, you're in control, tailoring the service to meet your blockchain requirements.

**Optimize Transaction Speed:** If you're still using the default settings for transactions on the Ethereum blockchain, you're at a disadvantage. Elevate your experience with ShieldNode's Speed settings, providing one of the fastest public RPCs available.

**Ethereum Rewards:** Your contributions to the blockchain through transactions are valued by validators, often resulting in Ethereum Refunds. These refunds, in the form of $ETH, can be deposited directly to your wallet or used to accelerate your requests. ShieldNode offers these advantageous options where others don't.

**Prevent MEV:** ShieldNode's privacy and security features thwart MEV extractors from spotting your transactions, enabling you to use higher slippage without concerns. Avoid losing funds to MEV bots by channeling your transactions through ShieldNode RPC.
