Scroll Launches Its Mainnet: A New Dawn in Ethereum Scaling

New Dawn in Ethereum Scaling

On October 10th, the crypto community witnessed a significant milestone: the official launch of the Scroll mainnet. A promising layer 2 (L2) scaling solution, Scroll seeks to address some of Ethereum’s most pressing challenges.

Introducing Scroll

Scroll emerges as a groundbreaking Layer 2 (L2) universal zk (zero-knowledge) Rollup solution for Ethereum. Being built atop Ethereum, it inherently embodies the security traits of Ethereum and integrates seamlessly with its ecosystem, including:

• Tools

• Decentralized Applications (dApps)

• Smart contracts

• A vast user base

Such integration means that resources can be effortlessly shifted and used interchangeably, resulting in unparalleled EVM compatibility. This essentially turns Scroll into a virtual twin of Ethereum.

Why the Excitement Around Scroll?

Before Scroll’s advent, the crypto space hadn’t seen a universal zk rollup due to the challenges of generating zk proofs for Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) computations. While zk rollups focused on specific applications — like dYdX for trading and ImmutableX for NFTs — none could offer a network catering to a variety of DApps.

Scroll’s uniqueness stems from its attributes:

• Developer-Centricity: It provides bytecode equivalence with the EVM.

• Efficiency: It offers a more secure block space for Ethereum, minimizing gas fees.

• Speed: It boasts improved block times, reducing from Ethereum’s standard 12 seconds to a mere 3 seconds.

Alignment with Ethereum’s Vision: From its inception, Scroll has demonstrated rapid adoption, with its Total Value Locked (TVL) exceeding $1.5 million. Over 1,383 users have bridged their ETH onto Scroll, with over 975 ETH (worth $1.5 million) already transitioned to the Scroll mainnet.

The Edge of zk rollups

zk rollups are gaining traction for being superior designs compared to optimistic rollups, especially in terms of privacy and the absence of fraud proofs, which eliminates withdrawal delays.

As a universal zk-rollup offering bytecode compatibility, Scroll promises to bring the advantages of zk proofs on L2 without compromising on EVM tool support and network effects. Their commitment to bytecode compatibility taps into the benefits of zk proofs while maintaining maximum compatibility with Ethereum.

Notably, Scroll’s dedication to decentralization shines through. While the initial stages involve a centralized sequencer, there are plans to transition to a decentralized mode. All zk proofs will ultimately be produced by a decentralized network of “proof generators”.
