A scaling solution that processes transactions off-chain and uses validity proofs (like ZK proofs) but stores data off-chain instead of on Ethereum.
A scaling solution that processes transactions off-chain and uses validity proofs (like ZK proofs) but stores data off-chain instead of on Ethereum. This makes it much cheaper than a ZK-rollup but with weaker data availability guarantees. Immutable X uses a validium architecture for its gaming-focused chain.
A Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles transactions off-chain and uses zero-knowledge proofs to verify them on the main chain.
The guarantee that transaction data is published and accessible to anyone who needs to verify it.
A secondary network built on top of a Layer 1 to improve scalability.
Application Binary Interface.
A way to make crypto wallets behave more like normal apps by turning every account into a smart contract.
The Ethereum standard for account abstraction without changing the core protocol.
