Challenge Process

The Challenge Process begins when Validating Nodes (VNs) detect a discrepancy in the transaction processing.

Challenge Process

These discrepancies can arise from various issues, such as:

• A mismatch between off-chain orders processed by the sequencer and their corresponding on-chain orders.

• Off-chain orders being processed out of sequence by the sequencer (e.g., an order that should have been processed first was handled later).

• Exclusion of an order from the blockchain entirely by the sequencer, even though it was a valid order that was processed on-chain.

When VNs detect one of these problems, they can trigger a challenge.
