The L1 proposer role refers to the function within a Layer 1 blockchain protocol responsible for creating and submitting new blocks to the network. Proposers gather transactions, validate them, and assemble them into a block structure. This role is crucial for maintaining the blockchain’s progression and validating its state transitions. In proof-of-stake systems, validators are often selected to be proposers based on their staked assets.
Context
The L1 proposer role is a central element in discussions about blockchain consensus mechanisms and network decentralization, particularly in news concerning Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake. The distribution and selection of proposers directly influence censorship resistance and network security. Debates often focus on mechanisms to prevent proposer centralization and ensure equitable participation.
