L2 SECURITY VERDICT: Who fixes centralization?
Scroll relies on Math (ZK Proofs). Metis relies on People (DSeq).
The ultimate winner for billions in capital is the chain that fixes Identity. If you had to choose a security model, which one earns your trust? Full thread.
1/4.ZK/Math Model (Scroll)
Strength: Instant finality via ZK-Proofs. Math guarantees correctness.
Flaw: Relies on a centralized seq. SPOF risks censorship, contradicting decent. ethos.
Verdict: Strong core security, but
sequencing is the main bottleneck for true decentralization.

METIS vs. SCROLL: WHICH L2 SECURITY MODEL WINS? ⚔️
Scroll relies on Math (ZK Proofs) for security. Metis relies on People (Decentralized Sequencers).
Metis argues ZK-Rollups still have a single point of failure (centralized sequencers). Its answer is the DSEQ Reboot. 👇
1/5. 🧠 The Decentralized Sequencer (DSeq)
Metis pioneers the first distributed sequencer pool.
🔹 Goal: Eliminate the Single Point of Failure (SPOF)—the centralized sequencer used by all other L2s.
🔹 Benefit: Prevents censorship and increases liveness (24/7 uptime).
