ZK-Rollups vs. Optimistic Rollups

Scaling Ethereum is unthinkable without Layer-2 solutions. But which technology will win in the long run?

Optimistic Rollups: Simple and Compatible

Solutions like Arbitrum and Optimism lead in adoption and compatibility with existing smart contracts.

ZK-Rollups: Technically Superior?

ZK-rollups provide instant finality through mathematical proofs. While implementation is more complex, they are considered the future of scaling.

Conclusion

Both technologies have their place. While optimistic rollups dominate today, ZK-rollups may set the long-term standard.
