Rollup

A Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles many transactions together before posting them to the main chain.

Definition

A Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles many transactions together before posting them to the main chain. Optimistic rollups assume transactions are valid unless proven otherwise, while ZK rollups use cryptographic proofs. Both make Ethereum much cheaper to use.
