Felten said there’s currently a permission set of validators — roughly 12 — that participate in the fraud proof game.He also added that Arbitrum is rolling out a new iteration of the fraud proofs called “BOLD” protocol — (Bounded Liquidity Delay) which he says gives Arbitrum a faster guarantee for challenges.“In the current version […] an adversary who’s willing to sacrifice multiple stakes can arrange to cause “N” weeks of delay if they’re willing to sacrifice “N” stakes […] But the BOLD protocol says no matter how many stakes they sacrifice, they’ll be defeated in about eight days.”Related: Arbitrum founder says Stylus is a game changer for EVMs Arbitrum’s BOLD protocol was rolled out by Offchain Labs on Aug. 4.After months in dev, we’re announcing BOLD (Bounded Liquidity Delay), a new dispute protocol that enables permissionless validation for Arbitrum chains, potentially removing the need for permissioned validation, dramatically improving decentralization. https://t.co/SHegVRGqXf— Offchain Labs (@OffchainLabs) August 3, 2023
Felten said Arbitrum’s fraud proof feature will soon be permissionless, allowing anyone to push towards ensuring the correctness of the chain when challenges are made.Magazine: DeFi Dad, Hall of Flame: Ethereum is ‘woefully undervalued’ but growing more powerful
