Overview

OpenLedger is built on the OP Stack, and as with other Optimism-based rollups, it does not support public validator node operation or general-purpose node staking. The security model relies on Ethereum as the settlement layer and utilizes a centralized sequencer initially, consistent with OP Stack infrastructure.

Accordingly,

• Asset holders cannot run validator nodes or directly contribute to consensus.

• The OpenLedger team does not operate as a validator in a traditional proof-of-stake model, nor through third-party delegation.

OpenLedger Node Infrastructure

• The primary validator is a centralized sequencer operated by AltLayer.

• Currently, full nodes—used for load balancing and as bootnodes—are maintained by the OpenLedger team.

• In the near future, other RPC providers interested in supporting the OpenLedger blockchain will also be able to run their own full nodes to offer RPC services.
