Rollups on the Ethereum network are gaining traction, indicating a new phase in the development of decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. However, as the ecosystem continues to evolve towards a rollup-centric roadmap, it confronts new challenges such as state and liquidity fragmentation and extended finality time.
In order to solve this problem, the Nuffle Fast Finality Layer (NFFL) was designed. Through it, various chains can, while supplying block data to, rely on the economic security of an AVS to provide a faster block finality to various protocols and use-cases while also including an additional public DA layer into their stack.
This universal, secure and fast finality leads to major advancements in interoperability protocols, enabling or improving designs such as general bridging and chain abstraction.
NFFL is used as a message-passing layer providing state root updates between different chains when the action to be taken is latency sensitive. NFFL can provide hyperoptimistic message passing (2-3 seconds) through crypto-economically insured messages.
