Scroll

What is Scroll?

Scroll is a zkEVM-based Layer 2 solution designed for near-perfect Ethereum compatibility. Launched in 2023, Scroll aims to be the most Ethereum-native zk-rollup by achieving bytecode-level compatibility with the EVM. This means Ethereum applications can deploy on Scroll without any code modifications, preserving the exact behavior developers expect.

Built with a community-first approach and backed by significant venture funding, Scroll focuses on security and decentralization. The team works closely with the Ethereum Foundation on zkEVM research, contributing to the broader Ethereum scaling roadmap.
