Abstract

The rapid expansion of the use of blockchain-based systems often leads to a choice between customizable private blockchains and more secure, scalable and decentralized but expensive public blockchains. This choice represents the trade-off between privacy and customization at a low cost and security, scalability, and a large user base but at a high cost. In order to improve the scalability of secure public blockchains while enabling privacy and cost reduction, zk-rollups, a layer 2 solution, appear to be a promising avenue. This paper explores the benefits of zk-rollups, including improved privacy, as well as their potential to support transactions designed for specific applications. We propose an innovative design that allows multiple zk-rollups to co-exist on the same smart contracts, simplifying their creation and customization. We then evaluate the first implementation of our system highlighting a low overhead on existing transaction types and on proof generation while strongly decreasing the cost of new transaction types and drastically reducing zk-rollup creation costs.
