Glossary/Rollup

Rollup

A Layer 2 scaling technique that executes transactions off-chain and posts compressed proofs or data to the main chain, inheriting its security.

Optimistic rollups assume batches are valid unless challenged; zk-rollups attach a validity proof for every batch. Both let Ethereum process far more transactions while settling to mainnet security.
