Scroll: EVM-Equivalent ZK Rollup for Ethereum

Discover Scroll, the zkEVM rollup focused on maximum EVM compatibility and Ethereum alignment.

What Is Scroll?

Scroll is a Layer 2 zkEVM rollup designed for maximum compatibility with existing Ethereum tooling. Its goal is to be "EVM-equivalent" — meaning any Ethereum smart contract should work on Scroll without modification.

Technical Approach

Scroll uses a Type 2 zkEVM that generates zero-knowledge proofs of EVM execution. This provides Ethereum-level security with much lower costs, while maintaining full compatibility with existing developer tools.

Ecosystem Growth

Scroll has attracted deployments from Aave, Uniswap, Ambient Finance, and many native protocols. Its focus on compatibility makes it easy for established protocols to deploy.

Trading on Scroll

Low fees and Ethereum security make Scroll attractive for DeFi traders. Use Alkizen to swap tokens on Scroll or bridge assets from other chains.
