+# Overview
+
+Since Aztec is a ZK SNARK L2, the blockchain's state is committed to in an L1 contract known as the
+*rollup contract*. In order to advance the contract from the current state to the next state,
+the rollup contract expects a valid ZK proof of transition.
+
+Aztec blocks are grouped in epochs of 32 blocks each, and the rollup contract expects the proof of
+an entire epoch. Once an epoch's proof is submitted and accepted by the contract, the epoch is
+finalized and no Aztec reorg can happen unless the L1 itself reorgs.
+
+[Aztec block production](https://forum.aztec.network/t/request-for-comments-aztecs-block-production-system/6155)
+can be divided into four parts:
+1) Transaction propagation
+2) Sequencing
+3) Proving
+4) Fallback mechanisms
+
+### Transaction propagation
+
+PXEs produce and share [`Tx` objects](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/286fbfae25b173d372164eedd7b22926eac32b2a/yarn-project/stdlib/src/tx/tx.ts#L27),
+which include the following information:
+- Transaction hash
+- Transaction effects (nullifiers, logs, etc)
+- The ZK proof for the private execution
+- The enqueued public calls
+
+These are gossiped to at least one node. Once a node receives a `Tx` object, it verifies its
+validity and then forwards it to its known peers. This process forms a [mempool](https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/mining/memory-pool/),
+which consists of all the transactions that are awaiting execution. The TX validity check ensures
+the ZK proof for private execution is valid and that fees will be paid correctly.
+
+### Sequencing
+
+Roughly, when a new epoch begins:
+
+1) A random committee is elected from the validator set
+2) Proposers are sampled from the committee for each of the epoch's slot
+3) Each proposer produces a block. They then broadcast it to the committee for attestations and,
+   upon collecting enough attestations, publishes to the rollup contract *without proving*
+
+### Proving
+
+Once an epoch is fully sequenced, proving happens simultaneously to the next epoch's sequencing.
+Proving is decoupled from sequencing so that a sequencer needn't have the hardware required for
+proving. Instead, a coordination mechanism between provers and sequencers is defined, which allows
+provers to quote their price for proving, and sequencers to bid for one of them.
+
+If the proof arrives at the L1 contract in time (before the next epoch's sequencing is done), the
+epoch is finalized. Otherwise, both epochs are discarded and block production begins again from the
+last finalized epoch.
+
+### Fallback mechanisms
+
+There are two fallback mechanisms that enter into effect whenever the happy path is not traversed:
+- Based fallback: ensures liveness
+- Forced inclusion queue: ensures finality
+
+## Up next
+
+The following pages explain sequencing, proving, and fallback mechanisms in more detail.

+# Sequencing
+
+Each epoch is sequenced *without proving* until it is complete. Such chain of unproven blocks is
+called the *pending chain*, which is dispatched for proving only after it's been completely
+sequenced.
+
+The sequencing of an epoch can be summarized in the following steps
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    Validator set-->>Committee: Sample without replacement
+    Committee-->>Proposers: Sample with replacement
+    loop each proposer
+        Note over Proposers: Construct block
+        Proposers->>Committee: Send block proposal
+        loop each committee member
+            alt block proposal is valid
+                Committee->>Proposers: Send attestation
+            end
+        end
+        alt quorum of attestations
+            Proposers->>Rollup contract: Block commitment
+            Proposers->>Rollup contract: Post TxEffects to blob DA
+        end
+    end
+```
+
+Each proposer must catch up to the previous proposer before they start constructing their own
+blocks.
+
+## Epoch initialization
+
+At the start of an epoch, a committee is [elected pseudorandomly](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/v2.0.0-nightly.20250820/l1-contracts/src/core/libraries/crypto/SampleLib.sol#L33), along with the set of committee
+members that will act as proposers. Randomness is sampled from randao at a previous epoch and a
+random seed derived from it:
+
+```solidity
+seed = uint256(keccak256(abi.encode(epoch, randao[epoch-2])))
+```
+
+The sampling occurs as follows:
+- **Committee**: Draw `TARGET_COMMITTEE_SIZE` indices pseudorandomly *without replacement*. At the
+  time of writing, this is done with a Fisher-Yates shuffle algorithm.
+- [**Proposers**](https://forum.aztec.network/t/request-for-comments-aztecs-block-production-system/6155): Draw 32 indices from the committee *with replacement*.
+
+### Validator lookahead
+
+The validator set used to compute the committee at epoch $$N$$ is taken from a snapshot of the
+validator set at 1 second before the start of epoch $$N-1$$. Since the randao value used for seed
+generation is that of epoch $$N-2$$, this means the committee and proposers are known one full epoch
+in advance.
+
+## Block building
+
+Inside an epoch, slots are filled in sequence. Each slot's assigned proposer waits for all previous
+blocks to be committed to in the rollup contract. They'll then catch their state up with the latest
+committed state and begin their own block construction and proposal.
+
+The proposer collects enough `Tx` objects from their view of the mempool to sequence a valid block.
+For any TX ordering, the proposer can simulate their execution *without proving* to know what state
+changes are introduced by the resulting block. After settling for one specific list of TXs, the
+proposer uses the simulation's results to construct a [`BlockProposal`](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/v2.0.0-nightly.20250820/yarn-project/stdlib/src/p2p/block_proposal.ts#L37)
+, consisting of:
+- `blockNumber`: the block number
+- `signature`: the proposal's signature by the proposer
+- `payload`: what the signature is over
+  - block header, including the archive root after this block is added
+  - archive root after block
+  - state after block
+- `txHashes`: TX hashes
+- `txs`: (optional) the block's complete transaction data
+
+:::note
+The archive tree is a tree whose leaves are the previous blocks' headers
+:::
+
+The proposer then forwards the proposal to the committee in order to collect attestations.
+
+## Block propagation
+
+Just like with transactions, all nodes re-broadcast block proposals to their known peers after a
+basic *P2P validity check*.
+
+This check currently ensures:
+- A committee has been defined in the rollup contract for the slot the proposal belongs to
+- The proposal is for either the current or the next slot
+- The proposer is the correct one for the slot
+
+## Proposal attestation
+
+When a commitee member receives a block proposal, they should [verify the proposal](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/v2.0.0-nightly.20250820/yarn-project/validator-client/src/validator.ts#L251)
+and send a `BlockAttestation` back to the proposer. This verification includes the P2P validity
+check, as well as checks that the proposal is consistent with the previous known state, and the
+proposed block executes correctly.
+
+In detail, the consistency checks are:
+- The block previous to the proposal is known
+- The proposal's *previous* archive root matches the previous block's archive root
+- The L1->L2 messages in the proposal match the ones in the rollup contract
+
+:::note
+As commented in the code, some of the attestation checks may be promoted to P2P validity checks,
+tightening the gossip checks.
+:::
+
+If all check pass, the attester sends the proposer a `BlockAttestation`, consisting of the same
+`blockNumber` and `payload` as the proposal, as well as the attester's `signature`.
+
+## On-chain block commitment
+
+After receiving the quorum of attestations, the block producer will submit their block proposal to
+the L1 contract by calling `RollupCore::propose` with:
+- `ProposeArgs` object that includes the proposed block's header
+- The committee attestations
+- Data for blob DA
+
+At this point, the rollup contract will prune any epochs that failed to prove. It will then
+- Validate the proposal, abort if it fails
+- Add it to the pending chain
+- Handle L1-L2 messages
+
+### Validating the proposal
+
+The following elements are [validated](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/v2.0.0-nightly.20250820/yarn-project/p2p/src/msg_validators/block_proposal_validator/block_proposal_validator.ts#L15):
+- Blob data: checks that the data in the blobs is the same as the data provided for the proofs.
+- Header data: does some sanity checks (e.g. the last archive root in the header must be the last
+  root's archive root, timestamp must be the one corresponding to the slot) as well as checking for
+  data availability.
+- Proposer: checks that the proposer corresponding to the block has properly signed the block.
+
+Attestations aren't validated eagerly during the `propose` call but rather assumed correct
+optimistically. Sequencers validate attestations off-chain during catch-up and, if a mistake is
+found, will invoke the L1 contract's `invalidateBadAttestation` or
+`invalidateInsufficientAttestations` function, in accordance to whether an invalid signature or an
+invalid amount of attestation has been found in an L1 proposed block.
+
+### Updating the pending chain
+
+The [L1 contract](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/v2.0.0-nightly.20250820/yarn-project/validator-client/src/validator.ts#L251)
+'s storage keeps track of both historical data and temporary data.
+
+The following historical data is updated:
+- Number of pending blocks
+- The archive tree root for this slot
+
+The following data for this block is stored temporarily in a circular storage buffer:
+- Header hash
+- Blob commitments hash
+- Payload digest
+- Slot number
+- Fee header:
+  - Excess mana
+  - Mana used
+  - Fee asset price
+  - Congestion cost
+  - Prover cost
+
+### Handling L1-L2 messages
+
+This consists of consuming the pending L1->L2 messages up to this block's start and inserting the
+L2->L1 messages into the outbox. The latter can only be consumed after the epoch is confirmed.
+
+## Catching-up with the latest block
+
+Once a block is persisted in the L1 contract, all sequencers must catch up to it by re-executing the
+transactions in order to have the latest view of the blockchain. At this stage, sequencers will
+ensure the block has the correct amount of attestations.
