• Linea has submitted a proposal outlining the steps to transition zkEVM to a permissionless system.

This would include a collaborative proof model that would replace the current Level 2 final decision-making system.

In this system, validators would be required to stake a token and participate in the QBFT consensus algorithm.

Linea, a Consensys-backed Level 2 ZK rollover, last week submitted a proposal detailing the steps required for #decentralization as part of protocol development.

"Towards Linea Decentralization" proposal by Florian #Hook , Linea's software architect, calls for zkEVM to move to a permissionless system and modify the existing block validation, block proposal and finalization process to create decentralized governance. The project includes a high-level structure.

The goal is to allow blocks to reach finalization at levels 2 and 1. In this case, Linea's sequencer would verify the finality of Level 2 blocks, while the finality of Level 1 blocks would be guaranteed when data and proofs from L2 blocks are published to #Ethereum , the proposal said.

Linea participants also proposed replacing the network's current Level 2 #proof-of-stake system with a proof-of-stake block verification model. This would require verifiers to stake tokens and participate in the QBFT consensus algorithm. The proposal states that verifiers who commit fraud will be penalized by, for example, burning a portion of their bids.

The on-chain auction system will also be introduced, allowing any node to bid for the role. The highest bidder will be able to buy the block, and the bid amount will be burned to reduce the total number of tokens.

The recovery mode will ensure that the system will continue to function even if the validator set is inactive for six months.
