I. Who is Loopring?

Loopring is an Ethereum Layer-2 scaling protocol. It allows for building high-throughput, low-cost, non-custodial AMMs, orderbook exchanges, and payment applications on Ethereum by leveraging Zero-Knowledge Proofs.

Ⅱ. What is Layer2?

Layer 2 is designed to confirm small transactions more quickly as well as to reduce transaction cost on the main network. Layer 2 totals are then transmitted to Layer 1 (main network/main chain). Layer 2 blockchains, along with “sidechains” are hot topics in the crypto world because they amplify the functionality and scalability of the major blockchain networks. By using Layer2, you can experience quick transactions with quite low gas fees.

The Layer 2 for Bitcoin is known as the Lightning Network. For Ethereum, “Rollups” are well-known. For example, “Optimistic Rollups” take seven days to confirm on the main chain, during which time a transaction can be disputed. ZK Rollups (Zero-Knowledge Rollups) hold funds in a smart contract on Ethereum. After a “validity proof” has been accepted, transactions are confirmed and the funds are available. Loopring is also the main player of Layer2 that provides crypto exchange service with quick and low gas fee transactions. Loopring is spoken as the leading non-custodial trading platform built on an Ethereum zkRollup (Loopring protocol).
