I'm at a Solana meetup to get the vibe. 

Solana folks believe that Solana is more decentralized. 

Their argument is Base sequencer is centralized and the same for pretty much any other L2. 

Is there some information on this?

Basically every L2 is run on a centralized sequencer

true. it's very rare to find an L2 that uses decentralized sequencers

it's especially problematic now that you have "sequencer-as-a-service" architecture like what Arbitrum, Optimism, and Flashbots provide. now you have a problem where otherwise unrelated networks are adopting the same points of failure. a single sequencer issue could cause problems across multiple networks.

Notable exception are Metis, which uses a decentralized pool of sequencer nodes and Taiko which uses Ethereum validators for sequencing.

Seems like up to 5 external parties can submit fraud proofs. 

Is anyone doing it?
