Layer 2 Rollup Efficiency
Layer 2 Rollup Efficiency measures how effectively a secondary protocol compresses transaction data before submitting it to the primary blockchain. By bundling thousands of trades into a single proof, rollups drastically reduce the per-transaction cost and increase overall network throughput.
Efficiency is determined by the cost of data availability and the computational overhead of generating cryptographic proofs. For derivatives trading, rollups provide the necessary scalability to run complex order books without incurring the high fees of Layer 1.
These systems allow for high-frequency updates to margin accounts and collateral balances. Monitoring rollup efficiency helps determine the long-term sustainability of decentralized trading platforms.
