ZK Rollup Efficiency

Definition

ZK Rollup efficiency refers to the measure of how effectively a Zero-Knowledge Rollup (ZK-rollup) solution processes and verifies transactions while minimizing computational costs and maximizing throughput. This efficiency is determined by factors such as proof generation time, proof size, on-chain verification costs, and data compression ratios. High efficiency is crucial for reducing transaction fees and enabling decentralized applications to scale significantly beyond the capabilities of a base layer blockchain. It directly impacts user experience and network capacity.
