AIP: BOLD - permissionless validation for Arbitrum

I voted FOR this proposal on Tally, maintaining the position stated during the previous temp check phase.
I’m genuinely excited about this significant change for Arbitrum. The BOLD upgrade marks a crucial step towards greater decentralization and incentives, which is essential for Arbitrum’s future. The introduction of permissionless validation is a transformative move that will open up the ecosystem and help prevent delay attacks, ensuring smoother operations, eventually increasing both security and overall efficiency.

Regarding the inclusion of Infura as a validator for Arbitrum Nova, I fully support this decision as well. Given their strong track record and fame in the space, whitelisting them makes perfect sense to me.

I believe this upgrade will have a meaningful impact on Arbitrum’s long-term development and growth. I’m looking forward to seeing how it will shape the future of this ecosystem!
