For developers and users on the Ethereum network, the challenges of high transaction costs and slow processing times are significant hurdles to building and using decentralized applications. These issues can stifle innovation and limit the widespread adoption of blockchain technology. Many scaling solutions have emerged, but they often force a trade-off between scalability, security, and compatibility with the existing Ethereum ecosystem. This means developers may need to rewrite their applications or compromise on the robust security that Ethereum provides, creating a frustrating and inefficient development experience. Users, in turn, face high gas fees and long confirmation times, making the on-chain experience cumbersome and expensive.

Scroll was founded to directly address these problems by providing a native zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) scaling solution for Ethereum. Our primary focus is to offer our customers—the builders and users of dApps—a seamless experience that combines the best of both worlds: the scalability of a Layer 2 rollup and the security and familiarity of the Ethereum mainnet. By being bytecode-compatible with the EVM, we ensure that developers can migrate their existing applications and use their favorite tools without any code changes. This empowers them to scale their ideas faster and grow their user base without the friction of learning a new development environment. For users, our technology translates to near-instant and cost-effective transactions, making it practical to engage with a wide range of decentralized services. We are committed to an open-source and collaborative approach, working closely with the Ethereum community to build a solution that not only scales the network but also upholds its core principles of decentralization and censorship resistance. Our goal is to empower the next wave of innovation on Ethereum by providing the infrastructure needed for a more scalable, secure, and accessible open economy for everyone.
