2024 is a pivotal year for Scroll as it launches the SCR token, marking a significant step toward decentralization. As a leading layer-2 rollup solution on Ethereum, Scroll aims to make blockchain more scalable, secure, and accessible to everyone. The SCR token will play a crucial role in decentralizing governance, provers, and sequencing while empowering the community to shape the future of the Scroll ecosystem. With SCR’s launch on October 22, 2024, and an upcoming airdrop, Scroll is set to accelerate its mission of building a globally distributed network for all.

What is Scroll?

Scroll is a security-focused scaling solution built on Ethereum, designed to enhance the network by making it faster, more accessible, and able to handle more users. Leveraging zero-knowledge proofs (zk) and a zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine), Scroll operates as a Layer 2 rollup on Ethereum. It allows developers and users to interact with decentralized applications (dApps) just as they would on Ethereum, but with lower transaction costs and improved scalability.

All activities on Scroll are secured by cryptographic proofs, which are verified by Ethereum smart contracts, making the network both secure and decentralized. This combination ensures that Scroll brings the power and security of Ethereum to a broader audience while addressing some of Ethereum’s inherent limitations, like high gas fees and congestion.
