Rollups have seen significant adoption and development over the past year
In general, optimistic rollups have outperformed zk rollups in terms of adoption, likely due to the convenience of EVM compatibility they offer
Both DeFi and NFT activity have ramped up on rollups, indicating that Ethereum users have been migrating their funds to rollups
A handful of ZK rollups are looking to support EVM compatibility, although that will likely still take quite some time
Optimism recently launched its native token, which raises questions on how other rollups may launch their own token
