# Sovereign Rollups Sovereign Rollups are a type of rollup where the layer 2 possesses its own consensus mechanism independent of the base layer (Bitcoin, in this case). This independence allows for greater flexibility in rule-setting and governance, potentially increasing the throughput and scalability of applications. For Zayn Network, researching Sovereign Rollups involves exploring how these can be implemented to work harmoniously with Bitcoin’s existing architecture while maintaining a high level of security and autonomy. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
