What are Zero-Knowledge Rollups (ZK-rollups)?
A zero-knowledge rollup (zkRollup) is a type of LAYER-2 scaling solution on Ethereum that ensures a much higher throughput and much lower costs without sacrificing security.
It does this by bundling up hundreds of transactions into one and moving them off-chain. There, it generates a cryptographic validity proof and sends it back to the main blockchain.
