Open Source Rollups

Architecture

Open Source Rollups represent a layered scaling solution for blockchains, primarily Ethereum, designed to enhance transaction throughput while maintaining security. They achieve this by processing transactions off-chain, bundling them into batches, and then submitting a succinct proof of validity to the main chain. This architecture fundamentally separates execution and settlement, allowing for significantly increased transaction capacity without compromising the underlying blockchain’s integrity. The open-source nature fosters transparency and community-driven development, enabling rapid innovation and auditability within the rollup ecosystem.
