Timing jitter
Spreads related transactions apart to defeat timing analysis.
What it is
A withdrawal that lands seconds after a deposit is easy to link. Timing jitter spreads related transactions apart.
How it works
Related transactions (for example the parts of a split action) are sent at spread-out times instead of back to back.
Limits
- Jitter adds delay. A trade that must land now is a trade that cannot be spread out.
- Jitter makes timing analysis harder. It does not make it impossible, especially when the anonymity set is small.
