Demystifying How ZK-Rollups Work: A Deep Dive into Layer-2 Scaling
A total of 151,045 pending Ethereum transactions highlights its ongoing scalability issues. This transaction backlog and high fees somehow affect the network’s usability and stability. In order to address these challenges, several layer 2 solutions are introduced and ZK Rollups have emerged as the potential solution to resolve the scalability issues. In this blog, we will explore what ZK rollup projects are and how they work for a deeper understanding. What are ZK-Rollups? ZK-Rollups are layer-2 scaling solutions that offload computation and state storage to off-chain networks while keeping transaction data on-chain to enhance blockchain scalability. This innovative approach boosts transaction throughput and lowers costs.
