Comparison of Layer-2 Rollups & ZK Rollups: Key Features and Advancements

As more dApps and DeFi protocols are deployed on Layer-2 chains to take advantage of their scalability, the use of Ethereum’s L2 ecosystem steadily increases, creating scalability challenges. The industry is, therefore, witnessing a race to find innovative scaling solutions and has seen tremendous advancement in L2 rollups. L2 rollups, comprising zero-knowledge (ZK) rollups and optimistic rollups, offer a more efficient and secure approach to managing blockchain transactions.
