Rollup
A Layer 2 scaling technique that bundles ("rolls up") hundreds of transactions into a single batch that is submitted to the Layer 1 chain. Optimistic rollups assume transactions are valid and allow fraud proofs; zero-knowledge rollups use cryptographic proofs to verify correctness. Both dramatically reduce per-transaction costs.
