Let’s talk about the two types of Rollup proofs.
L2BEAT ranks Rollups into three stages—Stage 0, 1, and 2—based on criteria such as the proof system and whether users can exit on their own.
One point that’s easy to overlook: validity proofs work by “providing a proof first, then verifying it.” Correctness depends on the cryptographic proof itself; the tradeoff is that generating proofs requires considerable computation.
Before using a Layer 2 network, you can check L2BEAT’s stage rating and risk warnings for it. The higher the stage, the less it depends on its operators.
The networks at $ARB and $OP use Optimistic Rollups, while $STRK follows the ZK approach.
