The core idea behind a rollup is to move computation from one blockchain (such as Ethereum) onto another blockchain (the rollup) which can process transactions quicker.

TXs flow between L1 and L2 (source: )

Abstract is a zk rollup which means it uses "validity proofs" to prove to Ethereum L1 that a state transition happened on the L2. Verifying the validity of a proof is much cheaper than re-executing every L2 transaction on L1, which is why zk rollups are magnitudes cheaper than L1s.

Settlement process between L1 and L2 (source: )

Finally, Abstract is built using ZK stack. ZK stack is the latest version of zkSync technology which includes a complete zk rollup system, a sequencer, token bridges, fraud proofs, and more.
