This needs to be changed throughout. Do you want to put in a PR?

I added it to the template to make this a consideration for future MDs and MIPs.

| ### D2: Accept Only Blocks Signed by Staked Validators | ||
| **User Journey**: A staked Suzuka Validator is the only entity that can submit blocks to the network which will later be processed by the Aptos executor. |

So the sequencer is a validator? what are the tasks of the validator?

No, the sequencer is staked, so that it can penalized, the simplest route for which is to just make it also required to be a validator
| **Justification**: This will prevent DOS attacks on the network by requiring a stake to submit blocks. | ||

| - Be sure to consider what is lost in this approach. For example, currently, a developer could bypass a Suzuka Full Node an submit directly to the DA--allowing them to avoid any potential censorship. This would be lost in a naive implementation of this approach, as they would be required to either (a) submit via a full-node or (b) stake themselves. |

developer --> user?
the meaning of "lost" here is rather confusing. Do you mean that the approach fails to cover this case? Are a) and b) covered by this approach and are of no concern anymore?

Yeah, "user" is better.
How about...
Requiring stake makes the DA permissioned. That is--while anyone would be able stake in MCR for the next epoch--within in an epoch, only stakers would be able to actually submit blocks to the DA. This potentially positions stakers to censor transactions.

This probably also needs a careful solution that can be included here: movementlabsxyz/movement#416 |
