An Operator Network comprises participants who execute specific functions within a decentralized system. These networks consist of various entities or nodes that perform specialized roles, such as sequencing transactions, providing data availability, or validating computations for a blockchain or a Layer 2 solution. They are crucial for the operational integrity and scalability of modular architectures, distributing workload and ensuring efficient system functioning. Such participants are often incentivized for their service provision.
Context
Operator networks are central to the architecture of many modern blockchain scaling solutions, including rollups and data availability layers, where they contribute to off-chain processing and security. News and technical discussions frequently focus on the decentralization, security, and economic incentives designed to ensure the reliable operation of these networks. Their performance directly impacts the overall efficiency of the associated blockchain ecosystem.
Decoupled Execution separates probabilistic ordering from deterministic state execution, allowing independent scaling of throughput and storage capacity.
