# Force inclusion

Force inclusion is a censorship-resistance and sequencer-failure recovery tool.
It is not the normal way to speed up a transaction.

## OP Stack route

On eligible networks, an Advanced review option sends the reviewed L2 intent
through the parent L1 Optimism Portal. WalletChan estimates the additional L1
requirements and tracks:

1. L1 submission pending.
2. L1 confirmed, L2 inclusion pending.
3. L2 confirmed.
4. A definite L1 or L2 failure.

Supported mappings can include Base, Optimism, Unichain, Blast, Zora, World
Chain, and configured test variants. Availability also depends on the selected
account and parent-chain access.

## Arbitrum route

Arbitrum One uses a separate signed delayed-inbox path for eligible local
accounts. A later permissionless force step is only available after the
protocol deadline.

## Account support

* Private-key and seed accounts can use eligible local L1 signing.
* Ledger, view-only, and Safe are excluded.
* Bankr can use a route only where its parent-L1 access supports it.

Force inclusion is incompatible with token-paid gas and some batch/deployment
paths.

## Costs and timing

You pay parent-L1 costs and may need an L1 deposit before the L2 intent can be
accepted. The L1 transaction confirming does not mean the L2 transaction is
already final. Activity and transaction details show both explorers and stages.

Use this only when you understand the extra cost and the normal sequencer route
is unavailable or censoring the transaction.
