Linea has unveiled a comprehensive proposal for advancing to Stage 2 rollup status through the implementation of multiprovers. This upgrade aims to enhance security against sophisticated attacks while maintaining the network's high performance standards.
Key aspects of Linea's decentralization roadmap:
- Implementation of QBFT consensus with stake-based validation
- Introduction of block proposer system via on-chain auctions
- ZK-powered L1 finalization process
- Transparent validator reward system
- Robust recovery mode for network continuity
The proposal builds on Linea's existing dual-finality approach, combining L2 sequencer finality with L1 smart contract verification.
