Ilya from the StarkNet product team presents a detailed proposal for decentralizing StarkNet, focusing on addressing censorship issues inherent in a centralized roll-up architecture. The proposed decentralized protocol consists of four key layers: decentralized staking, L2 consensus using a battle-tested proof-of-stake method (Tendermint), decentralized proving, and L1 state updates. Ilya outlines the importance of each layer, the technical challenges involved, and the innovative “recursive strands” method designed to optimize proving and merging proofs before posting them on L1. The talk emphasizes the need for a decentralized system to prevent censorship and ensure the protocol’s integrity and security.
