[Proposal] Sequencer Selection: Sequencer Schmequencer

Title Sequencer Schmequencer Proposed by @Mike Summary Our proposal draws inspiration from Ouroboros. By using Verifiable Random Functions (VRFs) to rank sequencers, the participant with the lowest VRF output gets designated as the leader for block/rollup production. Other participants function as backups, ensuring network liveness and reliability. This approach fosters fairness, decentralization, and network liveness. Details The proposed protocol revolves around the following steps: T…
