The behavior of rollups is generally well understood, backed by a strong documentation and operational networks. However, as these systems mature, they will add more and more functionality and features. They will do this to add distinctive features, reduce trust assumptions, for efficiency, and many other reasons. These changes differentiate existing rollups and will impact how the rollups of tomorrow will behave. In this talk, we’ll discuss changes to a single rollup component -- the sequencer -- in order to see how it can vary from rollup to rollup. We’ll explore concepts like shared sequencing, based sequencing, and unique sequencer functionality. After this talk, you’ll be primed to talk about all the latest innovations -- and current challenges -- for rollup sequencers.
