Apparently they are "exploring solutions to support multiple sequencers":
https://docs.citrea.xyz/future-research/decentralized-sequencer-network .

Imo on high level if you want to decentralize you either

  • need to make the transactions fully anonymous from the perspective of the single sequencer (so that the sequencer has no idea what it's sequencing) and make it easy to switch another sequencer
  • OR you need a network of sequencers that compete anonymously for fees, so essentially you need bitcoin mining with Nakamoto consensus.

Assuming the network of sequencers is the solution. L1 Bitcoin miners might as well perform citrea's sequencing and proving. Otherwise, what could be the mechanism of selecting a sequencer from the network of sequencers?
