Scroll said Monday that it reached a critical development phase using zero knowledge proofs, becoming the first Ethereum Layer 2 to allow users to post transactions without relying on central operators.
in post To X, Scroll promoted advances in security, scalability and decentralization after claiming that the project had reached “stage 1” in development.
“Scroll always had a fully functional ZK proof system, but users had to trust centralized sequencers before to avoid censorship and downtime.” “That’s not the case anymore.”
Scrolling was used, according to the project, to request that users trust the central system to process transactions without blocking or delay, without blocking or delay.
Euclidean upgrade of user scrolling I voted to approve Earlier this month, the system will continue to run even if the primary operator stops or tries to block user actions.
Normally, the rollup begins at Stage 0, starts with full team control, moves to Stage 1, and smart contracts are taken over, but the Safety Council can intervene.
Even if an operator blocks a user or shuts down, transactions can be sent to Ethereum, including them. This fixes major issues with tools like scrolling.
You need to create proofs for each action group, but these proofs are only very large. If a user submits significant actions, the entire system can be interrupted.
Using Axiom, a project in which Smart Contracts help validate past blockchain data, Scroll has built a new tool called OpenVM.
Rather than risking failure, the post explained that greater evidence “takes longer to prove.”
To keep users safe, you must vote for all system changes and wait three days before applying them. This gives users time to quit if they don’t like the changes.
The Euclidean Update establishes a 12-person safety team called the Security Council, which mandates strict rules.
At least nine members must agree to do something, of which at least seven should not work on the scroll. Only two Scroll councillors are permitted to sit on the council.
Despite the improvements, Scroll has a significant share problem. It was released in 2023 and went to the market later than its competitors, such as the Zksync era and Polygon Zkevm.
Still, Scroll said he is “looking forward to” for Stage 2.
