Unifying Ethereum via Real Time Proofs
summary
T1 proposes using Trusted Execution Environments plus layered cryptoeconomic security to post L2 state to Ethereum within an L1 block (≈12s) so users get near-instant finality instead of 7‑day optimistic waits or hourly ZK batches. Sequencing is done by an AVS-based sequencer that orders partially encrypted txs; TEEs (execution workers) decrypt and emit an ECDSA execution proof with ~5% overhead. Large withdrawals hit an AVS stake threshold and require an optional ZK proof before the canonical bridge accepts them.
