Rollups have become a core part of the Ethereum ecosystem. They promise cheap and fast transactions with minimal trust. These revolutionary systems can do more than merely scale blockchains, they can add special features, target specific markets, and provide a cheap place to onboard the next billion users. After a brief recap of how rollups have come to be, we’ll take a look at modern research challenges and upcoming features of these systems. This will include interoperability concerns, security considerations, and more.
