Ethereum L2 community Scroll formally launches on mainnet

• Scroll is an open-source Ethereum L2 rollup leveraging zero-knowledge proofs.
• The community gives elevated velocity and decrease charges for builders.

Scroll, an Ethereum layer 2 zkEVM-powered community, has introduced that its mainnet is now formally stay. The announcement comes after the zkEVM appeared to have quietly launched on mainnet a number of days in the past.

The L2 resolution was based in 2021 by Ethereum fans and builders and targeted on advancing zero-knowledge proofs on the main proof-of-stake blockchain. 

After greater than two years of constructing, we’re thrilled to announce the launch of Scroll Mainnet.

Particulars shared by way of weblog launch additionally confirmed the manufacturing of over 9 million blocks and 280,000 zk proofs generated.

Customers of the zkEVM-enabled scaling resolution will profit from EVM compatibility and the safety of the Ethereum blockchain. However greater than that, Scroll guarantees decrease community charges and latency. On this case, builders canl leverage the platform’s expertise for cost-efficient improvement of decentralised purposes.

“We see a future the place the overwhelming majority of worth switch takes place on L2s on Ethereum. What is going to drive that adoption is improved person and developer expertise,” Sandy Peng, co-founder of Scroll, stated, including:

“We give attention to enabling builders to construct blockchain purposes that may anchor web3 in actual world use circumstances, attracting new customers en masse, and transferring everybody ahead.”
