Oct 8, 2024, 09:09 AM

Linea, the Layer 2 ZK Rollup developed by Consensys, has unveiled a comprehensive roadmap for decentralization, addressing the issue of centralized sequencers in ZK rollups. The plan, outlined by software architect Florian Huc, includes transitioning to a proof-of-stake model for block validation. Validators will be required to stake tokens and may face slashing penalties for malicious behavior. The initiative aims to enhance the protocol's decentralization by implementing a permissionless system and establishing decentralized governance.
