Arbitrum is advancing towards "Stage 2 decentralization" with the community nearing approval of a proposal for permissionless transaction validation using the BoLD dispute resolution protocol. This upgrade aims to enhance security and ensure that no centralized entity can control the posting of state roots on the network. Additionally, Arbitrum plans to incorporate zero-knowledge proofs through its upcoming Stylus MultiVM. Achieving Stage 2 would align Arbitrum with the few Layer 2 networks that have decentralized control over their operations, boosting its security and autonomy in handling transactions.
