Allows community members to run their own Replica and Verifier nodes of the OMGX Rinkeby L2.
A replica node looks at the L2, and is a 1:1 copy of the L2.
A verifier node looks at transactions and the L1, and can be used to generate the data (state roots) that can be used to detect a fraudulent Sequencer. If the Sequencer manipulates transactions, then the state roots it injects into the L1 will be incorrect. That type of fraud can be spotted by looking at the transactions and independently calculating the state roots.
Broad community participation is the bedrock of L2 security, since otherwise, fraud might go undetected.
NOTE: A verifier node is essential, but not sufficient, for fraud-proving and removal of fraudulent transactions.
