Scroll mainnet launch: reasons it stands out among zkEVMs
Thread201 words
Lists why Scroll mainnet matters: public codebase, Ethereum Foundation alignment, bytecode-level EVM proving, Halo2 recursive proofs, prover decentralization and parallelization plans, and funding. Corrects it to a type 2 zkEVM.
Key claims
Scroll raised over USD 80m at a USD 1.8b valuation
Scroll is a type 2 zkEVM (corrected from type 1)
Plans prover parallelization and proof aggregation
Scroll Mainnet is LIVE! Want to know (just a few reasons) why I am so excited about @Scroll_ZKP? 馃槏馃
馃摐 The Scroll codebase (incl. the prover) has been built in public on GitHub since the first day!
馃摐 Highly aligned with the Ethereum values and co-built with the EF!
馃摐 Type 1 zkEVM that is able to prove EVM bytecode directly! This makes Scroll the most EVM equivalent zk-rollup and will change the game wrt DevEx!
馃摐 Very powerful & recursive proof system (Halo2) based on UltraPlonk!
馃摐 Clear roadmap and advanced research on decentralizing both sequencer & prover (key to reach maturity)!
馃摐 Working on prover parallelization, which will allow throughput to scale with the number of provers in the network!
馃摐 Plans to aggregate multiple proofs into one proof to reduce the final on-chain verification cost (beauty of recursiveness)!
馃摐 Great ecosystem evolving with many bluechips likely to launch on mainnet soon & some interesting native apps emerging already!
馃摐 Well funded, having raised over USD 80m in funding at a valuation of USD 1.8b!
Could probably go on with this forever, but too busy SCROLLing, sorry lads. See you on @Scroll_ZKP mainnet! 馃帀
