Ethereum Rollups

📜 TL;DR:

🚗 Rollups optimize Ethereum's performance by gathering transactions "off the main Ethereum highway" (Layer 1) and then officially process them on a "side road" (Layer 2).

Ethereum Rollups are a Layer-2 scaling solution designed to enhance the throughput and features of the Ethereum network.
They operate by "rolling up," or bundling, multiple transactions off-chain and submitting them in batches to the Ethereum mainnet for data availability. By doing so, they significantly reduce congestion and gas fees while maintaining interoperability with Ethereum.
Rollups can also add new protocol features that would be impossible directly on Ethereum (e.g., PoP security to inherit Bitcoin Finality and Hemi's hVM Bitcoin Interoperability system).
