Optimism Launches Testnet for New Fault-Proof System to Enable Decentralized Fraud Proofs on Optimistic Rollups
-
OP Labs launched a testnet version of its new fault-proof system on the Optimism Goerli testnet to work toward a more decentralized network.
-
The new system aims to allow users to submit fraud proofs to block incorrect data submitted by sequencers.
-
The modular system consists of 3 components - fault-proof program, virtual machine, dispute protocol - allowing customization.
-
This could enable diversity in protocols, with options like zero-knowledge proofs, helping overall security.
-
The fault-proof system aligns with co-founder Vitalik Buterin's view that optimistic rollups should allow fraud proofs for true decentralization.
