Rollups, in Depth

The scaling architecture, rebuilt.

The Course

The scaling architecture, rebuilt from first principles. Sequencing, finality, fraud proofs versus validity proofs — the mechanisms behind the abstractions of Program III.

Outcomes
  • 01

    Distinguish rollups by proof system.

  • 02

    Read a rollup's node implementation.

  • 03

    Design a novel rollup.

Prerequisites
  • Layer 2s (Ethereum Program); Zero-Knowledge Proofs helpful.
Pacing

~4 hours.

A Note from the Faculty

Every rollup is a policy choice about who can censor and for how long.
