# Architecture Overview

Below is a simplified picture of how Facet components fit together, followed by a more detailed Mermaid diagram.

The simplified flow:

* L1: Users submit Facet payloads to inbox EOA `0xface7` (see Sending Transactions). `Rollup.sol` (ZK Fault Proofs) lives on L1.
* L2: `facet-node` derives Facet blocks from L1 (see Chain State Derivation) and sends them to facet-geth which holds state.
* Proposer/Challenger: read from `facet-geth` and interact with `Rollup.sol` (with ZK proofs) (see Proposing and Challenging).
* Bridges/Apps on L1: read canonical roots from `Rollup.sol` to verify withdrawals (see Building Bridges).

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.facet.org/introduction/architecture-overview.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
