Validity Rollups

Definition

Validity rollups are a Layer 2 scaling solution for blockchain networks that process transactions off the main chain and then post cryptographic proofs of their correctness on-chain. These rollups, also known as ZK-rollups, aggregate many off-chain transactions into a single batch and generate a zero-knowledge proof (ZK-proof) that mathematically confirms the validity of all transactions in that batch. This proof is then submitted to the main blockchain, significantly reducing the data load and computational burden on the Layer 1 network. They offer strong security guarantees because the validity of transactions is cryptographically verified by the main chain.
