Zkrollups are a type of layer-two scaling solution for blockchains that use zero-knowledge proofs to bundle transactions off-chain. These aggregated transactions are then posted to the main blockchain with a validity proof, significantly increasing transaction throughput and reducing fees. They offer enhanced scalability while preserving the security guarantees of the base layer.
Context
The development and adoption of zkrollups are central to discussions about scaling blockchains like Ethereum. Key areas of focus include improving prover efficiency, expanding the types of transactions they can process, and ensuring seamless user interaction with zkrollup-based applications.
A new distributed zkSNARK protocol, Pianist, achieves linear prover scalability by parallelizing proof generation with constant communication overhead, resolving the ZKP bottleneck for zkRollups.
This research introduces novel ZKP protocols that achieve linear prover time and distributed proof generation, fundamentally enhancing blockchain scalability and privacy.
