Zk Rollups: Scalable Privacys Next Generation
zk-Rollups, a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, are rapidly gaining traction as a viable way to drastically improve transaction speeds and reduce gas fees. By bundling numerous transactions off-chain and submitting only a cryptographic proof (SNARK or STARK) to the main Ethereum chain, zk-Rollups offer a compelling pathway to scaling Ethereum and bringing decentralized applications (dApps) to a wider audience. This blog post will delve into the intricacies of zk-Rollups, exploring their mechanism, advantages, and potential future impact on the blockchain landscape.
