In the effort to enhance the scalability of Ethereum, developers have been actively constructing mechanisms known as “rollups” that function more efficiently atop the foundational blockchain.
While these rollups have captured significant market share, a lesser-known scaling solution called Plasma deserves more attention, according to Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Despite losing popularity since its introduction in 2017, Buterin suggests that it is now opportune to explore Plasma, particularly with the upcoming launch of ZK networks this year.
Role of ZK-SNARKs in Plasma’s Resurgence
In a recent blog post, Buterin said that Plasma is an “underrated design space.” Despite initially taking a backseat to roll-up technology because of constraints in client-side data storage and adaptability beyond fundamental payments, Plasma is now gaining renewed interest.
Buterin’s thesis centers around leveraging the advancements in validity proofs, particularly ZK-SNARKs, which, acc
