Blockchain

Rollup

A Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles (rolls up) many transactions into a single batch and submits them to the main blockchain. This dramatically reduces costs and increases throughput. There are two types: optimistic rollups (assume transactions are valid) and zk-rollups (prove validity with math).

Example

Optimistic rollups like Arbitrum process thousands of transactions for a fraction of Ethereum's gas cost.
