📄️ Introduction to Layer-0 Governance
In typical layer-1 blockchains, governance operations primarily take place on-chain. This means that the rules of the network, including decisions about its future direction and the resolution of disputes, are handled by on-chain processes and are directly encoded into the blockchain. However, this method of governance is not foolproof. Malicious nodes could potentially gain control over the network if they manage to secure an on-chain majority, thereby providing them with the capability to manipulate the network for their own interests.
📄️ The Root Node List
Introduction
📄️ Active Root Node List
This step-by-step guide will show you how to review the active layer-0 root node list.
📄️ On-Chain Root Node List
First, this guide will walk you through reviewing the root node list on the blockchain. Then, it will demonstrate how to compare this on-chain version with the active root node list.
📄️ Proposing a New Root Node List
When to Propose a New Root Node List?
📄️ Comparing Proposed and On-Chain Root Node Lists
Before jumping into a step-by-step guide on how to accept a newly proposed root node list, it is essential to compare it with the root node list currently on-chain in order to identify any potential differences. This step will ensure the accuracy and integrity of the new list. Hence, the following guide will show you first how to review the difference between the proposed and the onchain list.
📄️ Accepting a Proposed Root Node List
It is fairly easy to accept a proposed root node list. This step-by-step guide will show you how.
