Zero‑Knowledge Rollup

Web3

A blockchain “bundle” that uses zero‑knowledge proofs to verify many actions at once.

Definition

A zero‑knowledge rollup is a blockchain scaling method that bundles many transactions and proves they’re valid using a zero‑knowledge proof.

In plain English A blockchain “bundle” that uses zero‑knowledge proofs to verify many actions at once.

Why this matters

Why it matters: It can reduce costs and may improve privacy depending on what data is published.

Example

Example: A network verifies a batch of transactions with a ZK proof instead of listing everything on the main chain.
