Here's the thing about how Layer2 sorting works: once your transaction hits the Sequencer, it gets broadcast instantly. The whole network sees the order right away. No waiting around. That's how you get near-instant confirmation—what people call soft finality. Pretty neat mechanism when you think about it. Everyone's on the same page about transaction sequence before final settlement even happens.

As soon as the sequencer broadcasts, the entire network sees it—that’s the magic of soft confirmation.

The moment the sequencer broadcasts is indeed exhilarating, but is soft confirmation really reliable?

ngl the soft finality angle is where things get spicy... if you're not already front-running the sequencer with flash loans, you're literally hemorrhaging bps every block lmao

As soon as the sequencer broadcasts, the whole network sees the order? That’s blooming really fast... But soft finality still seems to be missing something. Feels like one day it might backfire.

Soft finality sounds good, but don't we still have to wait when it comes to actual settlement?
