>Imagine you could let Hitler run a supercomputer with a gazillion TPS and he still couldn't corrupt the chain, while you can verify on a budget smartphone.
>This is the superpower of validity proofs.
>A monolithic execution layer requires 1000s of block producers and non-producing full nodes with a majority needing to be honest. As a result, even if you don’t care about ease-of-verification, you need conservative hardware requirements, let’s say something like a 16-core CPU, 256 GB RAM, 1 GB/s bandwidth.
>Hitler can run a 256-core, 4 TB RAM, 100 GB/s supercomputer instead, and all the user needs to verify is a succinct proof on their budget smartphone.
So the future of L2s are goverments running the nodes and people being able to verify? Does this seems like a good solution, what's the catch.
