#EthereumFuture 🔗 Scroll is reaching a new level of decentralization — the Euclid upgrade has moved the project to Stage 1 according to Vitalik Buterin's classification, reports TheDefiant.

🛠 What is Stage 1:

— The network is no longer managed by a centralized team;

— Key functions are controlled by smart contracts;

— There is still insurance in the form of a multisig Security Council (9 out of 12 signatures).

💡 Key improvements with the Euclid upgrade:

- ⚙️ New OpenVM verifier — network acceleration and cost reduction

- 🧠 Support for Ethereum MPT — reliable data handling

- 💾 Storage optimization — up to 90% savings

- 🧩 Integration of EIP-7702 and RIP-7212 — a step towards smart accounts and convenient wallet management

🌍 Scroll is one of the first ZK-rollups to implement decentralization not just in words, but in practice.

⚠️ In conditions of market stagnation and declining liquidity, such steps increase community trust and strengthen the project's long-term position.
