An app-specific rollup is a Layer 2 scaling solution built for a single decentralized application, processing transactions off the main blockchain and then submitting compressed data batches. This method significantly increases transaction throughput and reduces costs for its dedicated application. It benefits from the security assurances of the underlying Layer 1 chain while providing specialized execution environments. Such rollups optimize performance by eliminating competition for block space from other applications.
Context
The current discourse on app-specific rollups focuses on their ability to deliver tailored performance for high-demand decentralized applications. A critical aspect under examination is the technical complexity of deployment and maintenance compared to shared rollup infrastructures. Continued development aims to simplify the creation and operation of these specialized scaling solutions, making them more accessible for various projects.
High-throughput perpetual DEXs surpassed $1.43T in monthly volume, validating specialized app-chain and Layer 2 architectures as the future of on-chain derivatives.
