ZK-rollups are revolutionizing blockchains, but until now, it has been a real challenge for developers to deploy them. That's why we are thrilled to introduce the alpha release of the Sovereign SDK, a development toolkit that allows developers to launch their applications as zk-rollups.

There’s a broad misconception in the crypto space that zk-rollups have a very long time-to-finality. In this post, we’ll explain why first-generation zk-rollups take so long to finalize, and how we can achieve lower latency without sacrificing security.

Two weeks ago, we introduced Sovereign, the Internet of Rollups. Many asked how it works. Here's how we’re building the zk-rollup SDK that will eliminate platform risk for dApp developers.

Sovereign is an open, interconnected rollup ecosystem. Our goal is to enable all developers to deploy seamlessly interoperable and scalable rollups that can run on any blockchain. That’s why we’re building the Sovereign SDK, the simplest framework for creating secure and interoperable sovereign zk-rollups.
