Base&#8217;s journey to becoming a more secure and decentralized network. <\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The implementation of fault proofs allows users to monitor and challenge invalid transactions<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, eliminating the need for a centralized third party and enhancing the

justify\"><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Fault proofs are cryptographic mechanisms<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> that enable verifiers to check the validity of transactions on the network. <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">When network operators attempt to pass incorrect transaction data<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> from the Layer 2 chain to the base chain, <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">verifiers can generate fault proofs<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> to challenge these transactions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This system ensures that the Layer 2 chain remains honest and secure. <\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With fault proofs now live, anyone can permissionlessly withdraw assets from the network<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> and participate in securing it by challenging potentially fraudulent withdrawal attempts.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left\"><span
