· 2026-04-23T04:52:13+00:00It's not decentralized either; one of the nice properties of rollups is that they can be trustless even if they are centralized (i.e. you can have a single sequencer constrained by proofs). Arbitrum is not trustless though, owing to the security council. It's nothing.
· 2026-04-23T17:22:38+00:00It's an extremely weak argument. The council had the power to intervene and was therefore compelled to intervene, but there's no reason to carry water for Arbitrum here. It's clearly trustful in a way that Ethereum absolutelyt is not.
