# Pre-settlement Working Group Overview

Pre-settlement is a proposer commitment framework that enables Ethereum validators to delegate their based rollup sequencing rights to third parties. Its implementation, **LingLong**, functions as a PBS (Proposer-Builder Separation) platform for based rollups.

For more details, see [LingLong design doc](https://hackmd.io/@luban/By0YRV701e).
