Rollup
A leading layer-2 scaling technique that bundles ("rolls up") many transactions off the main chain, processes them together, and posts a compact summary back to the base blockchain for security. Rollups come in two main flavors — "optimistic," which assume validity unless challenged, and "zero-knowledge," which post cryptographic proofs (see Layer-1 / Layer-2, Zero-knowledge proof).
