Scroll Network

Scroll Network (SCROLL) is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, using zk-Rollups to enhance Ethereum’s transaction throughput, reduce costs, and maintain the security of the blockchain. Scroll is EVM-compatible, meaning that applications built on Ethereum can function seamlessly on Scroll without modification. It leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to process transactions off-chain and then publish a compressed batch of transactions onto Ethereum, improving scalability while keeping the security guarantees of the Ethereum network.

Scroll is designed to improve Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency by offloading transaction processing from the main Ethereum blockchain onto its Layer 2 solution. This is especially beneficial for DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, and decentralised exchanges (DEXs), which need fast, low-cost transactions. Scroll already supports a variety of projects, including cross-rollup DEXs (e.g., Zada Finance), lending platforms (Cog Finance), and decentralised identity solutions like the Scroll Name Service.

The Scroll Network also offers a native bridge for users to transfer assets between Ethereum and Scroll, making cross-chain asset transfers smoother.

The native token of the Scroll Network, SCROLL, is central to its governance and operational framework. The token is primarily used to:

• Governance: SCROLL holders participate in the decision-making process concerning the protocol’s development and upgrades.
• Network Security: SCROLL tokens are used to incentivise and align the miner and prover communities. This helps decentralise the critical functions of Scroll’s ZK-Rollup architecture, such as transaction validation (via provers) and sequencing (via sequencers).
• Utility: SCROLL will also serve as a utility token, facilitating operations within the Scroll ecosystem, including paying for transaction fees and interacting with dApps deployed on the network.
