For those who do not know, Rollup is a scaling technique used to store the transaction data on-chain in a compressed form; however, computation part is done off-chain.

Sharding does the job of dividing the blockchain's nodes into smaller groups, termed as 'shards.

Chris Burniske tweeted "The Ethereum ecosystem is likely to be all-in on rollups (plus some plasma and channels) as a scaling strategy for the near and mid-term future."

Further Chris stated, the question now is on which rollup will be used and where.  The long-term and short-term benefits are detailed at Ethereum Magicians.

Sydney Ifergan, the crypto expert tweeted:  “If the net result of all of these developments on Rollups and Sharding is Reduction in Gas fees – Transaction Fees on Ethereum (ETH)…

Year 2020 for Ethereum has lot of interesting things happening in the Eth 1 and Eth 2. Decentralized finance (DeFi) is all the talks in Eth 1. Eth 2.

Ethereum Network according to many is evolving to be the frontier in Financial Innovation.  Ethereum has made it possible for lot of financial experimentation to take place…
