Deep dives
Scroll launches ZK EVM layer two on Mainnet
Scroll, a highly anticipated layer two solution, has released its ZK EVM layer two on Mainnet. With the emergence of ZK Roll Ups, Scroll offers unique properties and extra features that set it apart. The team discusses the importance of EVM equivalence and compatibility with Ethereum, emphasizing the benefits of reusing existing code and tools. They highlight the scalability of Scroll, with potential for an order of magnitude increase in transactions per second, and faster finality compared to optimistic rollups. Developers are encouraged to deploy on Scroll due to its user-friendly deployment process and the opportunity to access their existing user base, while new projects can bring unique CK-based applications to the platform.
Scroll Mainnet launch brings excitement and ongoing improvements
Following the Mainnet launch of Scroll, co-founder Sandy Peng and senior researcher Torgall Marimov discuss the significance of this achievement. They express their excitement for reaching this milestone after years of development and emphasize the ongoing feedback loop with users and developers. Scroll plans to focus on optimization, security, and decentralization. They highlight ongoing efforts to address state growth and introduce solutions like forced transactions, multiprover, and multiverifiers to enhance security and minimize vulnerabilities. While the roadmap beyond Mainnet is still under research and development, Scroll aims to make the deployment and development experience as seamless as possible for developers and users alike.
Stitching together the layer two ecosystem
The conversation turns to the broader layer two landscape and the challenges posed by fragmentation and user experience. While acknowledging the need for better communication and standardization among layer twos, Scroll currently focuses on providing a seamless experience for developers. They discuss the potential for future solutions that bridge different layer twos and the ongoing research to optimize computation time for proofs, storage proofs, and better user experiences in cross-chain messaging. The goal remains to simplify the user experience and abstract the complexities behind layer twos, achieving scalability without compromising security and decentralization.
Torgale Marimov's commitment to Ethereum's modular vision
Torgale Marimov defends his commitment to Ethereum's modular vision amidst debates about different blockchain approaches. He believes that Ethereum's original vision of a scalable base chain combined with layer twos aligns with his own values of decentralization and persistence. While different blockchain ecosystems pursue alternative strategies, Torgale emphasizes the importance of tackling state growth and ensuring Ethereum's foundational principles are upheld. He views layer twos as a means to achieve scalability without compromising on Ethereum's core strengths. His focus remains on building a secure, efficient, and accessible layer two solution while embracing ongoing research and collaboration in the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
The rollup wars are alive well! Scroll just launched their zkEVM to Ethereum mainnet. We invited Scroll's Co-Founder, Sandy Peng and Scroll's Senior Researcher, Toghrul Toghrul Maharramov on the show.
