The Soul of a New Machine: Next-Generation Optimistic Rollups with Cannon

Until now, optimistic rollups have been clunky as they need to patch the EVM bytecode in order to make it executable on layer 1, to enable challenges via fault proofs. But not anymore! Cannon is a new fault proof system that minimizes the amount of code needed to run an optimistic rollup and ensures that no changes have to be made to the bytecode. As a result, the rollup is fully EVM-equivalent and compatible with all existing tooling.
