## Madara as a Sequencer for Layer 3 App Chains
## Madara as a Framework for Layer 3 App Chains

[Madara](https://github.com/keep-starknet-strange/madara) is a
specialized sequencer developed to execute transactions and group them
into batches. Created by the StarkWare Exploration Team, it functions as
a starting point for building Layer 3 Starknet appchains. This expands
the possibilities for innovation within the Starknet ecosystem.
[Madara](https://github.com/keep-starknet-strange/madara) is a framework that simplifies the development of modular app chains on Starknet. With Madara, you can leverage the Starknet stack’s scalability and security advantages while tailoring your chain to the specific requirements of your dApp.

Madara’s flexibility allows for the creation of Layer 3 appchains
optimized for various needs, for example:
Key benefits of developing with Madara:
Comprehensive Control: With Madara, you can customise essential components, such as your prover and compiler version. Madara's flexibility allows integration of experimental features, ensuring your chain precisely meets your dApp's demands.

- Cost-Efficiency: Create an appchain for running a decentralized
exchange (DEX) with lower fees compared to the public Starknet.
Reduced Congestion: Your app chain serves your dApp exclusively, guaranteeing predictable performance and a smooth user experience.

- Performance: Build an appchain to operate a DEX with faster
transaction times.
Chain Sovereignty: Maintaining full decision-making power over the canonical chain is crucial, especially during potential security incidents or disagreements, ensuring you retain control. It's important to acknowledge, however, that this approach can have its drawbacks, warranting careful consideration.

- Privacy: Design an appchain to facilitate anonymous transactions or
encrypted messaging services.
Fee Collection: Manage your app chain's fee structure and retain all of the revenue generated by your application.
