ZK Rollups are a layer-2 solution that collects transactions off the main blockchain and batch them into a single transaction, thereby increasing throughput while reducing gas fees.
TL;DR:
- Zero-Knowledge Rollups (ZK Rollups) are a Layer-2 solution for blockchain scalability.
- zkSync uses zk-rollups for Ethereum’s layer-two blockchain, with gas fees 1/100 of L1 gas and reportedly supporting over 100,000 transactions per second.
- Polygon zkEVM uses zero-knowledge proofs to reduce transaction costs and increase throughput while inheriting Ethereum’s security, with a lower throughput of 2,000 TPS.
- ZkBNB can package hundreds of transactions and generate cryptographic proofs as zkRollups, allowing users to trade digital assets without permission and offering developers the opportunity to build marketplaces for NFTs.
- The three zk solutions are developer-friendly, allowing easy porting of Ethereum dApps.
