 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="developing-a-stateless-rollup">Developing a ‘stateless rollup’</h2> 
 <p>The core of Versatus’s offering is its stateless rollup technology, which is intended to provide a more efficient method for verifying smart contract transactions, irrespective of the programming language used.</p> 
 <p>The product is designed to address some of the existing challenges in the Ethereum network, such as high costs and inefficiencies, and aims to offer an alternative to the centralization issues found in optimistic rollups.</p> 
 <p>Versatus’s stateless rollup differs from traditional rollups by offering an execution environment that operates off-chain, reducing the need to maintain state and data storage. This approach is expected to be beneficial for the development of complex and data-heavy smart contracts.</p> 
 <p>Additionally, the technology facilitates asset transfers between blockchains and cross-chain contract integrations. Sreeram, the founder of EigenLayer, notes that stateless verification is crucial for the scalable expansion of optimistic rollups, allowing nodes to sample and verify parts of the state update.</p> 
 <p>With its latest funding <a rel="dofollow" title="round" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/round.html">round</a>, Versatus Labs aims to contribute to the evolving blockchain landscape, focusing on improving the developer experience in the web3 domain.</p>
