**tl;dr**

This newer version (v2) is aimed towards reducing the gas expenses for proof of diligence submissions by introducing an aggregator layer. The new version also introduces a proof of inclusion protocol.

If you are new to the protocol, please read the [How it works](/archive/proof-of-diligence-watchtower-protocol/how-it-works.md) section
