On the Flipside

  • The rollup inherits the benefits of Ethereum’s security, decentralization, and network effects, all whilst adding additional functionality to expand design options for developers.

Why You Should Care

This update has the potential to bring new developers to the Ethereum ecosystem, which may in turn lead to the increased adoption of blockchain and the addition of various new decentralized applications (dApps).
