ZK Rollup

The optimistic ZK-rollup architecture powering DUAL's hybrid on-chain/off-chain system.

Optimistic ZK-Rollup

DUAL uses an optimistic rollup approach where batches of off-chain actions are compressed into fingerprints and anchored on Ethereum. A 4-hour fraud challenge window allows validators to dispute invalid state transitions.

ZK Proofs

When disputes arise, SP1-based zero-knowledge proofs are generated to cryptographically verify the correctness of state transitions without revealing the underlying data.

Benefits

  • High throughput — thousands of actions per second off-chain
  • Low cost — only fingerprints are written on-chain
  • Security — full Ethereum L1 security via fraud proofs
  • Privacy — ZK proofs enable private verification
