The problem rollupAuth solves

RollupAuth addresses the critical need for robust security in digital authentication by offering a two-factor verification system that enhances user protection against unauthorized access and cyber threats. Here’s how it elevates existing security measures:

• Secure Transactions: Ideal for platforms requiring secure transactions, RollupAuth adds a verification step, ensuring that financial operations are conducted only after rigorous authentication.
• Prevention of Unauthorized Access: Users with sensitive data, such as in healthcare or financial services, can utilize RollupAuth to prevent data breaches by adding an extra layer of security.
• Compliance and Trust: Businesses that must adhere to strict data protection regulations can deploy RollupAuth to comply with legal standards and build trust with their customers by demonstrating their commitment to security.
• User-Friendly: By integrating with user-friendly interfaces like Metamask, RollupAuth simplifies the 2FA process, making it more accessible and less technical for end-users.
• Quick Verification: Leveraging the speed of micro-rollups, RollupAuth ensures that the authentication process is not only secure but also fast, minimizing the wait time for users.
• Versatile Application: From safeguarding online identities to securing e-commerce transactions, RollupAuth can be applied across various domains to enhance security without compromising on speed.
  RollupAuth streamlines the incorporation of 2FA, making it a seamless addition to existing security protocols, and offering a balance of speed, convenience, and impenetrable security.

Challenges we ran into

During the development of rollupAuth, I encountered several technical challenges, particularly relevant to a web3 demo:

• Smart Contract Integration: Ensuring the correct execution of smart contracts and their synchronization with the frontend.
• Transaction Efficiency: Optimizing the efficiency of blockchain transactions to minimize gas costs.
• User Wallet Interaction: Developing a user-friendly interface for wallet interaction and transaction signing.
• Security Auditing: Conducting thorough security audits to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
  To overcome these challenges, we leveraged Solidity and Ethereum tools, conducted extensive testing, and collaborated with the developer community for insights.
