This chapter explores the process of executing transactions on Ethereum and the idea of moving the execution off-chain. It discusses the need to reconstruct the transaction state and the importance of proofs for correctly executed transactions.
In this week's episode, we sit down with the Alex Vlasov and Alex Gluchowski from Matter Labs to discuss their approach to using zkSNARKs for scaling the transaction processing capacity of Ethereum. We chat about the inspiration for the Roll-up project, the Matter Labs implementation, their proposed Franklin network and more.
