Sequencer Performance Bottlenecks

Capacity

Sequencer capacity directly impacts throughput within Layer-2 scaling solutions, particularly rollups, as it defines the maximum transaction volume a sequencer can process per unit of time. Bottlenecks arise when transaction submission rates exceed this capacity, leading to queuing delays and increased gas costs for users. Optimizing sequencer infrastructure, including hardware acceleration and efficient data structures, is crucial for maintaining acceptable latency and scalability in high-demand environments.
