    1. 0.2. How ZK Rollups Work
    2. 0.4. Why ZK Rollups Matter

A ZK Rollup (Zero-Knowledge Rollup) is a Layer 2 scaling solution that bundles many blockchain transactions into one and uses cryptographic proofs to ensure their validity.

How ZK Rollups Work

ZK Rollups process transactions off-chain and generate a zero-knowledge proof, a cryptographic summary that proves all the bundled transactions are valid. This proof is then posted on the main blockchain (like Ethereum), allowing for fast and cheap transactions without compromising security. The system drastically reduces the amount of data stored on-chain while still ensuring trustless verification.

Why ZK Rollups Matter

ZK Rollups are crucial for scaling blockchain networks. They improve speed and lower transaction costs while maintaining high security and decentralization. Their ability to settle thousands of transactions with minimal data on-chain makes them ideal for DeFi platforms and other high-throughput applications. As blockchain adoption grows, ZK Rollups offer a sustainable path forward.
