This was at an average transaction of a staggering 305,000 transactions daily.&nbsp;Scroll&rsquo;s testnet has also produced over 9 million blocks and 280,000 ZK proofs.<figure class="media"><oembed url="https://twitter.com/Scroll_ZKP/status/1714286891196153989?s=20"></oembed></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://cimg.co/news/126518/334044/pasted-image-0-5.jpg" alt="" srcset="https://cimg.co/news/126518/334044/responsive-images/pasted-image-0-5___media_library_original_1600_208.jpg 1600w, https://cimg.co/news/126518/334044/responsive-images/pasted-image-0-5___media_library_original_1200_156.jpg 1200w, https://cimg.co/news/126518/334044/responsive-images/pasted-image-0-5___media_library_original_900_117.jpg 900w, https://cimg.co/news/126518/334044/responsive-images/pasted-image-0-5___media_library_original_720_94.jpg 720w, https://cimg.co/news/126518/334044/responsive-images/pasted-image-0-5___media_library_original_600_78.jpg 600w, https://cimg.co/news/126518/334044/responsive-images/pasted-image-0-5___media_library_original_300_39.jpg 300w" sizes="100vw" width="1600" class="content-img"><figcaption>Source: <a href="https://scroll.io/blog/founderLetter">Scroll&rsquo;s Blog</a></figcaption></figure>Meanwhile, the layer two network team stated plans to continue with its most recent testnet, <a href="https://scroll.io/blog/scrollSepolia">Scroll Sepolia</a>, as a testing ground for all upgrades to its Mainnet.&nbsp;Sepolia has already recorded over 900,000 wallet addresses created and generated over six million transactions with over 100 projects deployed on Scroll testnets.&nbsp;<h2 id="scroll-web3-and-a-new-pathway-to-decentralization">Scroll Web3 and A New Pathway To Decentralization&nbsp;</h2>Scroll was founded in 2021 by Ethereum blockchain enthusiasts and developers focused on enhancing zero-knowledge proofs of the proof-of-stake (PoS) blockchain.&nbsp;Sandy Peng, co-founder of Scroll, <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20231017097939/en/Scroll%E2%80%99s-zkEVM-Mainnet-Launch-Marks-a-Milestone-in-Ethereum-Scalability-and-Efficiency#:~:text=%E2%80%9CWe%20see%20a%20future%20where,%2C%20co%2Dfounder%20of%20Scroll.">cited</a> that the layer two development team sees a future where most value transfers are processed on L2s deployed on Ethereum.&nbsp;However, what will drive massive adoption will be an improved user and developer experience, which Scroll zkEVM mainnet aims to bring.&nbsp;Peng added that enabling developers to build dApps that anchor Web3 in real-life utilities will attract new users and move everyone forward.&nbsp;The next phase for the Scroll development team is the research roadmap for its introduction of a decentralized prover network and decentralized sequencer.&nbsp;The team plans to develop a protocol upgrade that will enable forced batches, allowing the permissionless publication of batches through the base layers in events of a sequencer going offline.
