According to PANews, Scroll announced on the X platform that it plans to upgrade to Stage 1 ZK-Rollup in April this year. This phase will support forced transactions, permissionless transaction submissions, and complete zkEVM proofs. Additionally, a security committee composed of industry experts will be established.
Previously, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin expressed his anticipation for more Layer 2 solutions to advance to Stage 1. He noted on the Fellowship of Ethereum Magicians message board that Stage 0 networks, which refer to themselves as Layer 2 or 'Rollup,' publish compressed versions of all transactions to Ethereum. In Stage 1, Ethereum's network smart contracts will include fraud-proof or validity-proof schemes to prevent developers from publishing invalid state roots. If developers attempt to fraudulently withdraw funds not belonging to them or block users from making legitimate withdrawals, such transactions would typically fail.
