Which Rollup Type Is Currently Better Suited for Smaller, High-Frequency Transactions?
ZK-Rollups are generally better suited for smaller, high-frequency transactions, especially at scale. While the initial cost of generating the zero-knowledge proof is high, this cost is amortized across a large batch of transactions.
The Layer 1 verification cost per transaction becomes very low. Optimistic Rollups, while having low submission costs, still face the capital lock-up and delay issues which can be problematic for high-frequency strategies.
