[^31]: Learn more about cynical rollups:
- Compare that to optimistic rollups which may take up to a week to finalize!
- Cynical rollups actively check that a block is valid, rather than waiting for someone to report it is invalid.
- See ELVES paper footnote above.
- Compared to "instant finality" consensus, block production is separated from finality, reducing network stalls:
