Strawmanning Based Preconfirmations - Layer 2 - Ethereum Research
By Lin Oshitani 1 (Nethermind Research). Thanks to Conor 1 and Aikaterini 5 for the detailed discussions and review. Thanks also to Ahmad 3 and Brecht 2 for their review and comments. This work was partly funded by Taiko. The views expressed are my own and do not necessarily reflect those of the reviewers or Taiko. Based sequencing provides a credibly neutral shared sequencer layer that enables composability among rollups and between rollups and L1. Additionally, based preconfirmations provide fast preconfirmation services on top of based sequencing, significantly enhancing the user experience as a result. However, compared to non-preconfirming based sequencing, naive implementations of based preconfirmations introduce negative externalities that require thoughtful consideration. Although issues have been highlighted in works such as this Bell Curve episode 4 (mainly in the context of non-based sequencers) and this write-up 1 from Chainbound, we believe the topic remains largely undere
