Scroll company
Overview
Scroll is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup) technology to batch transactions off-chain and submit validity proofs on-chain. It is designed to be EVM-equivalent, meaning it can execute Ethereum smart contracts without modification. Scroll is categorized as a zk-rollup infrastructure project.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, Scroll connects to 6 tracked entities, most strongly to Scroll zkEVM, ether.fi Cash, Sandy Peng.

Frequently asked questions
What is Scroll?
Scroll is a zk-rollup-based Layer 2 network for Ethereum that aims to provide scalability while maintaining Ethereum compatibility through EVM equivalence.
How does Scroll achieve EVM equivalence?
Scroll uses a zkEVM (zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) that can verify Ethereum smart contract execution in zero-knowledge proofs, allowing existing Ethereum dApps to be deployed without changes.
What is the difference between Scroll and optimistic rollups?
Scroll uses validity proofs (zk-proofs) to immediately finalize transactions on Ethereum, whereas optimistic rollups assume transactions are valid and rely on a fraud-proof challenge period.
What is Scroll connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, Scroll is linked to 6 other tracked entities, most strongly to Scroll zkEVM, ether.fi Cash, Sandy Peng.
