Overview of design patterns in handling ordering and execution; will cover separation of roles between sequencers and validators, tradeoffs in different ways handing execution & ordering, current approaches — i.e., what various L2 rollups are doing in production, what is and isn’t possible in principle.

Centralized sequencers can easily front run transactions and sell order flow to third parties
instead of trying to keep patching ethereum we should move to better new blockchains that have addressed these issues
He’s so well spoken
good
the wrap up music haha
Great talk! Any resources out there related to decentralizing sequencers (maybe potentially allowing for any node to run sequencer client software similar to geth)?
