After more than two years of building, Scroll team are thrilled to announce the launch of Scroll Mainnet.
-> Scroll was founded in 2021 with the mission to scale Ethereum. After three successful testnets spanning over 15 months with extensive testing and rigorous security audits, we are thrilled to announce that Scroll Mainnet has officially launched for everyone to use. As we open the doors to Mainnet, we want to take a moment to reflect on our journey thus far.
-> Starting With Research
Scroll was established by Ethereum enthusiasts and open-source contributors dedicated to advancing zero-knowledge proofs. Our research into enhancing prover efficiency yielded the first ASIC paper and a GPU prototype. Coupled with advancements in proving systems, we observed a large improvement in prover efficiency. This breakthrough led to our work on the zkEVM, a scaling solution nearly identical to Ethereum with lower cost, faster speed and limitless scaling potential. We shared our nascent insights on Ethereumโs research forum,marking the true beginning of Scroll's journey.
->Throughout the period of testnet, Scroll processed:
- More than 450K smart contract deployments
- 90M+ total transactions
- An average of 305K transactions per day
- Production of over 9M blocks
- Generation of over 280K ZK proofs
