The Rollup Revenue Puzzle: How Do Rollups Make Money
summary
Two rollup projects compare concrete revenue moves: a Solana SPM rollup framework takes a 12.5% cut of transaction fees from rollups launched on its Hypergrid and builds “attention capital markets” using oracles and a PageRank-style score to reward app builders; a ZK rollup on Ethereum repeatedly halves gas fees across six or seven upgrades and promises a zero-fee product for consumer apps while driving on-chain activity (an Etherfy cash card hits 400,000 transactions) and protects funds with a 16-person security council.
