Using a Hybrid UTXO and Account-based State Model in a ZK Rollup

Duration: 00:23:37

Speaker: Bobbin Threadbare

Type: Talk

Expertise: Intermediate

Event: Devcon

Date: Oct 2022

Many rollups choose to follow Ethereum’s account-based state model. We explore an alternative approach: a hybrid of a UTXO and an account-based model, specifically in a context of a ZK rollup. This approach offers a number of interesting properties including local transaction execution, support for privacy-preserving smart contracts, and reduced state bloat. In this talk we describe tradeoffs between different state models and cover the specific design choices we’ve made with Polygon Miden.
