Zk-Rollup Technology

Definition

Zk-rollup technology is a Layer 2 scaling solution for blockchains that processes transactions off-chain and then submits a cryptographic proof of their validity to the main chain. This proof, often a zero-knowledge proof, confirms the correctness of many transactions in a single submission. It significantly increases transaction throughput and reduces computational load on the main blockchain. This technology enhances scalability.
