Zero-knowledge rollup

A rollup that uses cryptographic validity proofs to demonstrate correct execution of transaction batches.

PLAIN-ENGLISH DEFINITION

In more detail

The verifier checks a proof of the batch's execution rather than relying only on a window for fraud challenges. Despite the ZK name, this does not mean every transaction is private. Rollups still publish required data, and the complete design includes sequencing, upgrades, data availability and withdrawal rules.

IN THE WILD

How you might use it

Ethereum's verifier contract checks the batch proof before accepting the rollup's new state commitment.
