Nodekit aims to address one of the biggest challenges with the current modular stack. Most rollups today run on single centralized sequencers managed by the core teams behind the project. This approach caused censorship and performance related issues, adding centralization to an otherwise decentralized stack. Through SEQ, Nodekit introduces atomic composability and shared sequencing to the leading rollup protocols bringing economic efficiency and true decentralization for the modular cross-chain web3 ecosystem.

Here is a recent publication from Galaxy Digital about the modular thesis of blockchain.

Scaling Blockchains: The Modularity Thesis

To ensure the long-term viability of the blockchain modularity approach, it is important to have sufficient decentralization at every level of the stack. While most rollup teams recognize this and plan to decentralize in the future, they should not have to delay decentralization until they gain adoption. NodeKit allows rollups to decentralize their sequencing from the beginning, improving uptime and enabling interoperability right from the start.

We at Borderless are excited to announce our lead investment in Nodekit, a shared sequencer protocol, designed to promote economic efficiency and true decentralization for the modular web3 ecosystem. We led the current $1.2M round with strategic investors including Blizzard Fund, Polygon Ventures among others.
