Fraud Proof

Fraud Proof is a technique that operates as a bond in a decentralized environment where Optimistic Rollups (ORs) are used. The idea is that a group of validators can stake their tokens to prove the validity of a transaction. If a transaction is found to be invalid, the validators who staked their tokens to prove the validity of the transaction will lose their tokens. This provides an incentive for validators to only stake their tokens on valid transactions. Fraud Proof can be used to prove the validity of any type of transaction, not just transactions on a blockchain.
