Decentralized Rollup Scaling

Definition ∞ Decentralized rollup scaling is a method to increase a blockchain’s transaction capacity by processing transactions off-chain and then posting a cryptographic proof of their validity to the main chain. Unlike centralized rollups, decentralized versions ensure that the operation of the rollup itself is managed by a distributed network of participants. This approach aims to maintain security and censorship resistance while significantly boosting throughput.
Context ∞ Decentralized rollup scaling represents a major development in addressing the scalability limitations of popular blockchains, such as Ethereum. The current focus involves achieving greater decentralization of sequencer networks and dispute resolution mechanisms within these rollups. This technology is critical for supporting widespread adoption of decentralized applications and reducing transaction fees for digital asset users.
