ConsenSys, the developers behind the Layer 2 network Linea, have introduced a protocol improvement proposal aimed at enhancing decentralization.
The project’s chief software architect, Florian Hook, released a document titled “The Path to Decentralizing Linea,” outlining plans to optimize the transaction finalization process in the L2 solution.
According to the proposal, any node will be able to participate in block validation through an auction system by placing a deposit for staking. Nodes will be selected randomly, and regular rotation will prevent operators from gaining control over the network.
In cases where validators become inactive, a recovery mode will be triggered, and after six months, they will be replaced by other nodes.
Data transmission to the Layer 1 (L1) network will occur through BLOB objects.
Validators exhibiting inappropriate behavior will face a penalty system.
Previously, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin suggested lowering the requirements for solo staking to strengthen network decentralization.
