Rollup

A type of L2 scaling solution that bundles (rolls up) hundreds of transactions into a single L1 transaction. Optimistic rollups (Arbitrum, Optimism) assume validity and use fraud proofs to challenge invalid states. ZK rollups (zkSync, StarkNet) use cryptographic proofs for immediate validity.
