Ethereum Rollup Achieves Decentralization Milestone

Scroll Achieves Stage 1 Decentralization Milestone with Zero-Knowledge Proofs

• Scroll becomes the first Ethereum Layer 2 using zero-knowledge proofs to reach “Stage 1.”
• The Euclid upgrade ensures censorship-resistant transactions and a user-controlled exit window.
• A new tool, OpenVM, developed with Axiom, enhances system efficiency by breaking down large transactions.
• A Security Council of 12 members oversees changes; only two members can be from Scroll.
• Users voted to approve the Euclid upgrade earlier this month.

Scroll’s advancement to “Stage 1” marks a significant step in decentralization, allowing users to post transactions without central operator reliance. The Euclid upgrade introduces crucial features like censorship resistance and a user-controlled exit window.
