ZK-Rollups Explained

[lingriiddd]

Zero-Knowledge Rollups (ZK-Rollups) batch hundreds of transactions off-chain, then generate a cryptographic proof to validate them on Ethereum. This reduces gas fees while maintaining Layer 1 security guarantees.

Key Benefits:

Near-instant settlement

High throughput (thousands of TPS)

Strong security (proof is verified on-chain)

Used in platforms like zkSync and StarkNet, ZK-Rollups are central to Ethereum scaling and privacy-preserving applications.
