Terminology in crypto is confusing

Case in point: based rollups have nothing to do with Base the rollup

2/ What are based rollups?

Based rollups bundle transactions off-chain and submit cryptographic proofs to Ethereum for verification. Instead of relying on their own sequencer, they leverage Ethereum itself.

3/ How based rollups work:

• Transactions are grouped and processed off-chain.
• A cryptographic proof (zk-SNARKs or fraud proof) is submitted to Ethereum.
• Ethereum validators confirm the proof, ensuring security without high L1 costs.
