What is Scroll?
Scroll is a ZK-Rollup that is EVM-compatible at the bytecode level, meaning existing Ethereum contracts deploy on Scroll without modification.
How does Scroll work?
- EVM bytecode executes on Scroll's off-chain network.
- Execution is proven using zero-knowledge proofs.
- Proofs are posted to Ethereum for settlement.
Why does Scroll matter?
It combines ZK security with full EVM compatibility, letting developers port existing contracts without rewriting them in a new language.
Key features of Scroll
- ZK-Rollup with native EVM bytecode compatibility
- No contract rewrites required
- Uses the PLONK proof system
- Familiar developer tooling and libraries
Examples of Scroll
Deploy an existing Uniswap or Aave fork on Scroll unchanged. Transactions are proven with ZK proofs and settled on Ethereum, inheriting its security.
