Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, thinks that ZK-rollup technology will be more successful than Optimistic rollup technology.
Speaking at the ETHSeoul event, Buterin said that Optimistic rollup technology can be used in today’s conditions. more advanced that, but Zero-knowledge rollup He said that his technology has a better foundation and that it can be more successful than Optimistic rollup technology in the long run.
Optimistic rollup and ZK-rollup technologies, developed at the Layer 2 level, are used to scale the Ethereum blockchain. There are some architectural differences between these two solutions.
Stating that ZK-rollups provide an advantage especially in terms of processing speed, Buterin made the following statement:
“My view is that ZK-Rollups will overtake Optimistic Rollups in the long run. Because there are some key advantages that ZK-rollups have, for example, there is no seven-day withdrawal process. 10, maybe more years from now, I expect all of the rollups to use ZK.”
Although ZK-rollups have some advantages, for example Not being compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) It has some disadvantages as well.
Zero-knowledge technology “A very difficult technology to develop” Buterin says that Optimistic rollup solutions are more advanced in today’s conditions.
