The ZK Rollup Endgame

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Panel describes working Bitcoin rollups that already run ZK proofs, a bridge prototype that currently requires 3 GB on-chain split into 4 MB chunks, and a planned snark verifier in Bitcoin script; withdrawal resolution once took six months under earlier designs and now targets a one honest party assumption where anyone can challenge fraudulent exits. Development splits into an expressive EVM-compatible rollup plus an LP-friendly bridge with ~10 BTC LP deposit limits and plans for aggregated cross-rollup composability.
