The Requests for Protocol founders is designed to help applicants consider Protocol ideas for Fracton Incubation 2024. Many of the fields and ideas listed below are just “one approach to promoting decentralization of the vast Ethereum ecosystem.” We welcome innovative Protocol ideas that contribute to the Ethereum ecosystem and its decentralization, not limited to these.

Here is the application form of Fracton Incubation 2024：https://app.deform.cc/form/f9add33a-d109-41eb-8406-99626d4b16d6

Decentralization of the Protocol

</aside>

Layer 2/Layer 3, built as Ethereum's scaling solutions, are still immature. They rely heavily on the core development companies and the Foundation, and the protocols themselves also rely on sequencers operated by the development companies. We believe that solutions to decentralize these L2/L3 sequencers and solutions to decentralize L1 validators will contribute to Ethereum's decentralization.

Also, when focusing on governance, on-chain governance is particularly immature. Decentralizing governance tokens and involving many stakeholders is necessary for the long-term development of the protocol. We are looking for the emergence of solutions that will decentralize and develop both on-chain and off-chain governance.

• Decentralization of sequencers in L2/L3
• Decentralization of Batch Posters in L2
• Solutions for increasing the number of solo stakers
• A recovery mechanism for low-balance tokens (Token-Debris) that are left in multi-chains
• Governance Attack Vectors for defense
• A marketplace where anyone can create a Vault in a DeFi Protocol and sell their strategy itself
• Minimizing the minimum amount of ETH (or governance tokens) required to operate a validator node
• Make RPC node provider to DAO
