Sequencer Incentives

Definition

Sequencer incentives are rewards or benefits offered to entities responsible for ordering and batching transactions in certain blockchain architectures, particularly rollups. These incentives motivate sequencers to perform their duties efficiently and honestly, ensuring timely transaction processing and network stability. Rewards might include transaction fees, protocol tokens, or other economic advantages for maintaining the operational flow. Proper incentive alignment is crucial for the security and performance of these scaling solutions.
