Ethereum sebagai platform smart contract banyak digunakan untuk dApps, namun Ethereum (Layer 1) masih menghadapi kendala skalabilitas ketika aktivitas transaksi meningkat, yang berdampak pada kemacetan jaringan, naiknya latensi, dan biaya transaksi yang tinggi. Makalah ini menyajikan kajian literatur yang berfokus pada rollups sebagai solusi utama Ethereum Layer 2 untuk mengurangi beban pemrosesan transaksi pada Layer 1. Metode yang digunakan adalah literature review terarah dengan sintesis tematik terhadap literatur yang membahas: sumber masalah skalabilitas di Ethereum Layer 1, konsep dan arsitektur rollups, perbedaan Optimistic Rollups dan Zero-Knowledge Rollups, serta tantangan implementasi rollups pada kondisi nyata. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa rollups menjadi pendekatan dominan karena menggabungkan transaksi dalam batch untuk diproses di Layer 2, lalu melaporkan ringkasan/bukti ke Layer 1 sehingga efisiensi biaya dan kapasitas transaksi meningkat. Namun, efektivitas rollups bergantung pada aspek operasional dan keamanan seperti ketersediaan data, mekanisme penarikan dana, serta risiko ketergantungan pada operator/penyedia infrastruktur. Secara keseluruhan, rollups efektif sebagai solusi skalabilitas Ethereum, tetapi memerlukan penguatan desain keamanan dan keandalan operasional agar dapat diadopsi lebih luas.
