We have submitted an Arbitrum Proposal on Tally titled "Front-end Interface to Force Transaction Inclusion During Sequencer Downtime."

Our proposal outlines the creation of a front-end interface (and back-end) to allow users to submit transactions on Arbitrum during Sequencer outages.

The project, set to take approximately 4.25 months for completion, encompasses stages of research, development, design, and extensive testing, with an additional commitment to two years of service and maintenance.

Our ultimate goal is to assure users that this alternative route is effective, alleviating concerns about the sequencer’s failure to process transactions, whether due to censorship or downtime

This initiative aims to boost trust (everything will be opensource) and autonomy within the Arbitrum ecosystem, aligning with its decentralization objectives.
