Blockchain

Layer 1 blockchains are the foundation of a blockchain network. They provide the architecture upon which all applications and protocols on the blockchain network are built.

This article addresses the issue of sequencer centralization. All major Layer2 Rollups have included the decentralization of sequencers in their roadmaps, but this is still a short to mid-term goal that has not yet been achieved. The reason for this is that the decentralization of sequencers is not a technical issue, but an economic one.

Competition in the Alt L1 space is heating up, with Near introducing a DA solution and Sui's TVL steadily rising. While Ethereum takes its time with mainnet upgrades, L2 introduces two major competitive points: parallel EVM and decentralized sequencers.

This article, for the purpose of making the Rollup model easier to understand and analyze, Celestia researcher NashQ has divided the sequencer of Rollup into two logical entities - the aggregator and the header producer. At the same time, he divided the transaction ordering process into three logical steps: inclusion, ordering, and execution. Guided by this analytical thinking, the six major important variants of Sovereign Rollup are clearer and easier to understand. NashQ has detailed discussions on the censorship resistance and liveness of different Rollup variants, and also explored the minimum configuration of each Rollup variant node in the state of minimal trust (that is, to achieve a Trustless state, at least what types of nodes Rollup users need to run).

The author of this article takes the well-known ZK-Rollup project Aztec as an example, and uses the two recent proposals named B52 and Fernet proposed by Aztec Labs as the starting point to analyze how ZKR can achieve the decentralization of sequencer nodes.

This article introduces privacy projects represented by Tornado, which truly utilize the zero-knowledge property of the ZK-SNARK algorithm, while most projects under the ZK banner only use the succinctness of ZK-SNARK. Often, people confuse the difference between Validity Proof and ZK, and Tornado serves as an excellent example to understand the application of ZK.
