Full nodes verify blocks by downloading all transactions and re-executing them to check their validity. Unsurprisingly, larger blocks place a greater burden on full nodes – more hardware required to process and verify each
Centralized sequencers are the current norm for rollups and most, if not all, plan to decentralize the sequencer in the future. There is no correct way to decentralize as multiple options exist that
Rollups have come a long way since their initial conception in 2019. We’ve seen a distinction emerge between two primary contenders and a varying assortment of other promising theoretical designs that encompass
One of the most common criticisms of rollups is that they “break composability”. This has been a major argument from most monolithic chain maximalists. However, ‘one chain to rule them all’ is an
“Rollups get cheaper with more users”. You’ve probably read a phrase like this about how rollups are fundamentally different from other blockchains because they flip the traditional blockchain cost structure on its
