This can be simply achieved by adopting a standard BFT consensus protocol, as used by other L1 protocols and sidechains like Polygon and Cosmos. a governance mechanism which prevents sequencers from prioritizing short-term profits over the long-term health of the network.Īfter this, the next step is to support multiple concurrent sequencers.

We're making progress on the upgrade fault proof mechanism and we expect to productionize our work in 2022. This means that users of the Optimism network currently need to trust the Sequencer node (run by Optimism PBC) to publish valid state roots to Ethereum.

# Next gen fault proofsĪs part of the OVM 2.0 upgrade, the Optimism fault proof mechanism had to be temporarily disabled. # Roadmapīelow is a brief summary of some of the planned Optimism roadmap (opens new window) releases. For a high level overview of the current protocol version, see 'How Optimism works' section. The primary focus of this upgrade was EVM Equivalence (opens new window), a new design for Optimism that brought it close to 1:1 parity with Ethereum.

With the OVM 2.0 upgrade, which happened on November 11th, 2021, the Optimism protocol went through its biggest upgrade to date.
