Deep dives

Interoperability of Rollups

All rollups on Ethereum will eventually gain the ability to communicate with one another on the same shared network. This interconnectedness will enable transactions and interactions between different applications operating on separate rollups. For instance, a user can pay for items on a shopping platform built on Arbitrum using funds from an app like Optimism. This seamless interoperability eliminates the need for users to navigate between different chains and bridges, simplifying their experience.
