How Safe Sequencing Will Power the Appchain Future with Firewall

If we want the institutions to come onchain, the current security measures are ripe for an improvement.

The state of exploits and sequencing for L2s, in their eyes, is like the wild wild west and is extremely risky (if not straight up impossible due to regulations).

Today, we're diving into onchain sequencing security via an interesting concept called "safe sequencing" from Firewall.

We sat down with Devin Purhar, co-founder of Firewall, to get the inside scoop on how they’re tackling one of the biggest roadblocks to mainstream crypto adoption .

So what’s the deal with sequencing today and how can we make it "safe" in the lens of Devan?

The safe sequencer is a plug-and-play security layer that integrates directly into L2s. It’s not just another audit or monitoring tool; this system filters out malicious transactions in real-time, aiming for an endgame of a "zero exploits" environment. We discuss the usage of AI and ZK proofs and how this combination creates a new standard for rollup security.

But, is there other centralization risks at play with introducing a new blockchain for sequencing?

How will this get traction if there are more complexities at play?

Does the market really care about the security of sequencing, as its a very complex topic?

These answered, and more, in today's podcast where we explore why building a more secure onchain ecosystem could be the key differentiator for rollups going forward. Enjoy.
