Sequencer

L2 component that orders transactions—often a high-value operational key surface separate from user EOAs.

Definition

Many rollups use a sequencer to order transactions before settling to a base layer like Ethereum. Sequencer keys and related infrastructure are operationally critical.

Quantum risk discussions for L2s must include sequencers, bridges, and upgrade keys—not only user wallets.
