Deep Tide TechFlow News, on January 10, according to The Block, Arbitrum DAO has launched a proposal for improvement (AIP) voting, planning to upgrade Arbitrum One and Nova chains to the Bounded Liquidity Delay (BoLD) protocol. The protocol will operate on the testnet starting April 2024, and if the proposal is approved, it will be implemented on both mainnet chains in February 2025.
The BoLD protocol aims to enhance the security of Arbitrum withdrawals to the Ethereum mainnet by introducing a fixed time window (approximately 13 days plus a 2-day grace period) for resolving chain state disputes. This mechanism will change the validation authority from a whitelist system to a fully open system, allowing anyone to participate in network security validation, effectively reducing the risk of malicious delay attacks.
