-    1. Monitor Deposits on L1 and add them to the MockLayerTwoStorage
-    2. Only process transactions with processed=False
-    3. Flag those transactions that have been included in a batch with processed=True
-
-    4. Accept Transfers via CLI / Rest (without signatures) - reject if L2 Balance insufficient
-    5. Generate proofs for Deposits & Transfers and mutate the L2 state
-    6. Submit proofs to the L1
-
-    IDEA: For Demo purpose, trigger the batch submission manually, through a REST endpoint.
-
-    7. Implement Transfer signatures (not difficult, but pushed back due to it being a straight-forward process)
