Rollups come in two distinct flavorsRollups are one of the most promising categories of Layer 2 solutions. These solutions move transaction computations off-chain, but store transaction data to the Ethereum chain, which means that rollups are secured by Layer 1. All this is accomplished via smart contracts whose primary function is to bundle, or ‘roll up’, transaction data and move it off chain for processing. This data is handled by network participants typically referred to as sequencers or...
