What Is a ZK-Rollup and How Does It Achieve Scalability?

A Layer 2 solution that bundles off-chain transactions, using a single ZKP to prove their validity on the main chain, boosting throughput and reducing fees.

What Is a ZK-Rollup and How Does It Achieve Scalability?

A ZK-Rollup is a Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles hundreds of off-chain transactions into a single batch. It then generates a zero-knowledge proof (ZK-SNARK or ZK-STARK) that attests to the validity of all those transactions.

This proof is posted to the main chain, significantly reducing the data and computational load on the main chain, thus increasing throughput and lowering transaction costs.

Glossar

Main Chain

Architecture ⎊ The Main Chain represents the longest, most validated, and widely accepted sequence of blocks in a Proof-of-Work or Proof-of-Stake cryptocurrency system, serving as the canonical ledger for all finalized transactions.

Zk-Rollup

Scalability ⎊ Zk-Rollups represent a Layer 2 scaling solution for blockchains, critically addressing transaction throughput limitations inherent in Layer 1 protocols like Ethereum.
