<p>Scroll, a zero-knowledge rollup project aimed at boosting <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/?s=ethereum" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum’s</a> throughput, has officially launched its mainnet, according to an announcement Tuesday.</p>
<p>Chinese journalist Colin Wu reported that Scroll’s mainnet will initially focus on onboarding infrastructure providers to the network. The project utilizes zkEVM technology, which the team states provides an experience virtually identical to Ethereum.</p>

<p>A key advantage of zkEVM rollups like Scroll is that they allow the execution of smart contracts with full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. This avoids some of the limitations of other scaling approaches.</p>

<p>In their press release, the team outlined upcoming milestones, including building a decentralized network of verifiers and sequencers for transaction ordering. This implies that a native token and airdrops are likely not imminent and remain further down the roadmap.</p>

<p>Rollups like Scroll essentially bundle or “roll up” transactions off-chain and generate cryptographic proofs that are verified on Ethereum. This can significantly reduce congestion and fees on the root chain.</p>
<p>Along with fellow zkEVM project zkSync, Scroll aims to deliver Ethereum’s security guarantees and ecosystem support while vastly improving throughput. However, decentralized control and token distribution appear to still be in their early stages.</p>
<p>The launch marks a significant step forward for Scroll, but real-world usage and adoption remain key challenges ahead as Ethereum continues to see growth in demand. Rollups represent one highly anticipated scaling avenue to unlocking Ethereum’s true long-term potential.</p>
