i understand why Sign gives governments full control over the L2 sequencer. It’s about sovereignty, independence, and not relying on external actors.
But that control comes with a tradeoff I can’t ignore.
If you control ordering, you control visibility. You control timing. You control inclusion.
And none of that requires shutting the system down.
The fallback to L1 sounds reassuring, but it only kicks in when the chain fails — not when it’s functioning in a biased way.
Feels like the line between infrastructure and control gets very thin here.
