> Ephemeral Rollups Are All You Need (https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.02650)

**Authors:** Gabriele Picco, Andrea Fortugno

We propose a framework that leverages the **Solana Virtual Machine (SVM)** to scale fully on-chain applications without state fragmentation or compromised trust assumptions.

To enhance scalability and resource optimization, we introduce the concept of **Ephemeral Rollups (ERs)**:

* Dedicated runtimes customizable for higher operational speed.
* Configurable ticking mechanisms.
* Provable sessions and gasless transactions.
* Achieves scalability without compromising composability.
