Final Thoughts

Dymension features two interesting technologies; a hub for modular rollup networks (RollApps) and the Elastic Block Production technology. RollApps are highly customizable and can be adjusted for specific purposes, on the other hand, the EBP creates a scenario where the network only functions on demand, in order to save network resources for time of use only. Rollups have already been shown to be an effective approach to improving a blockchain network’s throughput; hosting multiple rollup networks in a single hub can offer even more advantages in terms of resource distribution. The RDK ensures that the basic features of these networks are developed according to the specified design.
