Transactions Sequenced by L1 Validators
Every Facet transaction is an Ethereum transaction. Facet transactions are broadcast to Ethereum as “payloads” within regular Ethereum transactions. These transactions are processed and validated by Ethereum's decentralized network of validators (“based sequencing”), eliminating the centralized sequencer common with other L2s. This ensures a more open, secure and censorship-resistant network.
No Contracts, No Privileged Keys
Traditional L2 gas mechanisms employ two-way asset bridges with “security councils” that can upgrade contracts, introducing unnecessary centralization and security risks.
Facet’s gas mechanism is an immutable, non-upgradeable protocol component, guaranteeing consistent and unalterable functionality from deployment.
State Derived Deterministically From L1 Transaction History
Like other “rollups,” Facet off-chains deterministic smart contract operations.
Think outside the block.
As an alternative to Layer 2 scaling, Facet is a Layer 1+ that doesn’t sacrifice security or decentralization.
What makes Facet a Layer 1+?
100% Uptime
>
Facet mirrors the robustness and continuity of Ethereum itself.
If Ethereum is up, Facet is up.

Censorship-Resistant
>
All Facet TXs are ordered and finalized by Ethereum's network – NOT by a centralized L2 sequencer.
No one can be excluded from executing a Facet transaction.

No Privileged Keys
>
No multi-sig or “security council” has the power to update the Facet Protocol.
The only way to upgrade Facet is via a hardfork and social consensus – just like Ethereum.

Synchronous Finality
>
Facet achieves block finality in direct sync with Ethereum’s own finality (~15 min), eliminating the need for lengthy waits and complex bridging processes typical of L2 solutions.
There is no need for lengthy waits and complex bridging processes typical of L2 solutions.
