Optimistic Rollup Transition

Definition

Optimistic Rollup Transition refers to the process of migrating or upgrading a blockchain network to incorporate an Optimistic Rollup scaling solution. Optimistic Rollups are Layer 2 protocols that process transactions off the main blockchain, then periodically post a compressed version to the main chain. They “optimistically” assume transactions are valid unless challenged within a specific time frame. This transition aims to significantly increase transaction throughput and reduce fees.
