# ZK Rollups

Zero-Knowledge (ZK) Rollups also process transactions off-chain but use cryptographic proofs (zk-SNARKs) to verify the validity of transactions before posting them on-chain. This method provides faster finality and stronger security guarantees since every batch of transactions is verified cryptographically, ensuring only valid transactions are posted on-chain.
