Highlights of the Layer 2 Decentralization Panel
summary
A marketplace model sells sequencing rights so a sequencer can buy a slot and produce super-blocks that atomically match outbox/inbox proofs across rollups, enabling cross-rollup flash loans and lower latency; Espresso prototypes the marketplace idea and ELink runs an EVM rollup ELink on Tezos mainnet. Designs propose pre-confirmation with slashing or smart-contract collateral, SGX or Flashbots Suave for encrypted mempools, and a path from single-node sequencers to competitive, replaceable sequencer auctions.
