Economic Censorship in Optimistic Rollups (2025)

This paper provides a rigorous economic model for "bribing attacks," where an adversary attempts to censor the challenge period of a rollup. The research mathematically defines the precise challenge windows required to make such attacks economically unviable. It establishes a formulaic relationship between capital costs, bribe profitability, and the duration of the security window.
