There’s a broad misconception in the crypto space that zk-rollups have a very long time-to-finality. In this post, we’ll explain why first-generation zk-rollups take so long to finalize, and how we can achieve lower latency without sacrificing security.

There’s a broad misconception in the crypto space that zk-rollups have a very long time-to-finality. In this post, we’ll explain why first-generation zk-rollups take so long to finalize, and how we can achieve lower latency without sacrificing security. By solving this problem, we’ll motivate a design for sovereign zk-rollups. Then, we’ll briefly explore the other advantages offered by sovereign designs. Finality Bottlenecks… and How to Solve Them For most zk-rollups, one of the largest expenses is proof verification. Depending on the underlying proof system, a rollup on Ethereum might spend a
