Loopring is the first zkRollup Layer 2 scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain, offering all the security benefits of the original Layer 1 network but with higher efficiency. The Loopring protocol boasts a throughput 1,000 times higher than that of Ethereum, being able to handle over 2,000 TPS with transaction costs 100 times lesser than Ethereum.
LRC is the native token of the Loppring network and is used as the utility and governance token within the ecosystem. LRC tokens are issued as incentives to users who provide liquidity within the Loopring protocol, to insurers, and even offers its holders the ability to participate in the governance of the Loopring DAO.
Loopring offers an open-source, fully audited, and decentralized protocol to support non-custodial exchanges and payments. The zkRollup feature or zero-knowledge rollup ensures complete security of data and assets, giving the entire control to users.
The zero-knowledge proofs also enable Loopring to offer high transaction speeds, all with the power of Ethereum’s strengths. The off-chain batch processing of transactions on Loopring not only ensures high scalability and speed but also far lower gas fees.
The Loopring Foundation is a non-profit organization that oversees the development of the ecosystem and focuses on expanding the footprint of online platforms focused on decentralized trading. Daniel Wang is the founder of the Loopring Foundation and the brains behind the Layer 2 zkRollup.
