According to ChainCatcher, Web3Caff Research, a Web3 industry research and analysis platform, recently released an in-depth research report on the Based Rollup track. Researcher Wildon pointed out in the report that with the development of blockchain technology and the surge in market demand, Ethereum has gradually been unable to bear the huge transaction volume.

Therefore, the concept of Rollup came into being, separating transaction execution from the main network and moving it to the off-chain for calculation, thereby reducing the computing burden of the main network. At present, the Rollup ecosystem is mainly divided into two factions: Optimistic Rollup and ZK Rollup.

Although these two Rollup designs effectively improve transaction processing speed, they still have limitations in security, MEV, degree of decentralization, latency and computing costs. To solve these problems, Ethereum researcher Justin Drake proposed the idea of ​​Based Rollup in May 2023, with the main network assuming the function of Rollup sorter, so that Rollup can inherit more main network features.

The report pointed out that Based Rollup has the advantages of decentralization, improved security and simplified architecture, but it also implies related problems.
