Sequencers

As the modular blockchain thesis increasingly resonates within the industry, Layer 2 blockchains, whether based on optimistic rollups or ZK rollups, are becoming a popular choice for projects seeking decen- tralized infrastructures. A significant centralization concern for rollups is the sequencer, a solitary trusted entity tasked with ordering and relaying L2 transactions to L1. Exocore’s restaking platform can help mitigate the centralization risks associated with the L2 sequencer by instituting robust token incentives and penalties for mis- behaviors, making the sequencer both trustless and censorship-resistant.
