I cannot distribute it on the Creator Store after all of the work I put into obfuscating all of my Scripts and LocalScripts, because Roblox does not allow obfuscated code in public assets.
This makes it possible for anyone to reverse-engineer and copy the source code of my plugin, which makes it almost impossible for developers to upload their own client anti-cheat plugins securely.

3. What solutions have you tried so far?

As far as I’m aware, there are no existing solutions to this issue. This needs to be brought to attention because it’s a serious problem. It’s not fair to developers of anti-cheat services to be unable to share or sell their work, simply because there is no way to protect their code from theft and reverse engineering.

Reverse-engineering is caused by obfuscation. Nobody is reverse-engineering something that is plain to see, and obfuscation will just invite people to do so.

Nope. Reverse engineering the anti cheat in order to try and bypass it is different from reverse engineering the obfuscation. Both can be reverse engineered but I was specifically referring to the code my anti cheat has being reverse engineered, which is visible in plain sight but can still be reverse engineered by exploits.
