On-chain here! had an idea, coming across articles that are interesting and trying to break them down in a different way and see how that resonates. this is the beginning of new times so thanks for on-boarding - check out the read below and get back to me would love to hear your thoughts this article is inspired from

What's the Deal with Sequencing?
1. What is Sequencing? Sequencing is like putting events in a specific order. Imagine you're telling a story; the order in which you tell events matters. In the world of digital transactions, the order in which they happen is super important. If you buy a toy and then sell it, it's different from selling a toy and then buying it.
2. Why Do We Need Sequencing? In some digital systems, like Ethereum, there's a person (or a role) who decides the order of events for a short time. This is like letting one student decide the order of presentations in class for a day. The next day, another student gets to decide. From a big picture, it seems fair because everyone gets a turn. But for that one day, one person has a lot of power.
3. Different Ways to Do Sequencing:
Layer 1 (L1) and Layer 2 (L2): Think of these as different levels in a video game. Both levels need to decide the order of events, but they might do it differently.
Finalizing the Order: Even after deciding the order, everyone in the network needs to agree on it. It's like the whole class agreeing on the order of presentations.
4. Should We Share the Power of Sequencing? Some people think it's better if no one person has too much power in deciding the order. There are ways to make sure many people have a say, like "escape hatches." This is like having a backup plan if the main plan fails.
5. Why Users Should Care: Imagine you're playing a game, and you trust the game's rules. If the rules suddenly change or aren't fair, you might not want to play anymore. Similarly, if users don't trust the system, they might leave.
6. Different Ideas on Sequencing:
Based Rollup: This is like letting the main teacher decide the order of presentations. It's simple and everyone trusts the teacher.
Shared Sequencing: This is like letting a group of students decide together. It's more complicated but can be faster.
Other Ideas: People are always coming up with new ways to do things. It's like finding new ways to play a game or solve a puzzle.
7. Who Gets the Rewards? In digital systems, there are rewards (like points in a game). The big question is: who should get these rewards? Should it be the person deciding the order, or should everyone share?
8. Can We Mix Different Methods? It's like mixing different game rules. It could work, but it might also confuse players. So, it's a tricky decision.
In simple terms, sequencing is all about deciding the order of events in a digital system. It's important because the order can affect the outcome. There are different ways to decide the order, and each has its pros and cons. Everyone involved, from the people running the system to the users, has a stake in how it's done.
