🌐 Scroll (SCR) – zkEVM Standard Bytecode Rollup: Secure Settlement Layer for Ethereum

(Data updated until 07/2025 and is just basic information about the project to facilitate basic evaluation – Not investment advice)


🧭 Overview

- @Scroll_ZKP is a Layer‑2 on Ethereum using zkEVM bytecode-level, fully compatible with EVM, directly supporting Solidity/Solidity tooling, optimizing dApp deployment capability (Messari).

- Open development project, collaborating from the start with the Privacy & Scaling Explorations team of the Ethereum Foundation (BusinessWire).

- Mainnet launched in October 2023 and SCR token launched via airdrop & launchpool on Binance in October 2024 (Messari, Gate).


📅 Important milestones (2024 – 07/2025)

- Feb–Oct 2023: Testnet Goerli public, contributing ~50% code in the PSE Ethereum group.

- Oct 2023: Mainnet zkEVM officially launches.

- Apr 2024: SCR airdrop and “Scroll Sessions” program encouraging usage.

- Oct 16, 2024: SCR reaches ATH $1.39.

- Apr 17, 2025: SCR reaches ATL $0.208.

- Jun 2025: TVL reaches ~$748 million, becoming the largest zkEVM & #3 Ethereum L2 chain.

- Q3 2025: Beyond upgrade is expected to allow permissionless RollApps deployment, significantly reduced block time, and enhanced performance.


🤝 Partners & ecosystem

- IBC – supports cross-chain dApp from the Cosmos ecosystem.

- Etherspot – integrating Account Abstraction to optimize UX and gas.

- AWS – Scroll operates core infra via EC2 & RDS, having processed ~15 million transactions.

- Many DeFi and gaming projects are building RollApp on Scroll with incentives launchpool and airdrop Season 2.


💰 Revenue & network fees

- Bridged TVL ~$124.8 million, over $94 million DeFi TVL on the network.

- Daily fees ~$298, revenue ~$276 + App fees $2,309/day ($327k/quarter) ().


📊 Tokenomics & SCR price

- Current price $SCR : $0.2675 (CoinMarketCap, Messari).

- Market cap ~$50–75 million, circulating ~190 million SCR, max supply 1 billion.

- ATH: $1.39 (12/2024); ATL: $0.208 (4/2025).

- Current price down ~81% from ATH, but still higher than ATL ~29%. (at the time of posting).

- The temporary double bottom model has formed...


⚙️ Technology & dev

- zkEVM bytecode-level, best compatibility compared to Ethereum.

- Architecture includes Sequencer (Geth-fork), Roller Network, Rollup & Bridge contracts.

- Commitment to decentralization of sequencing nodes and permissionless RollApps in the core “Beyond upgrade”.


🛣️ Roadmap 2025

- Launching permissionless RollApp and improving block time.

- Launching Season 2 airdrop & SCR staking incentives.

- Promote the development of multi-sector RollApps: DeFi, GameFi, Social, infra.

- Expanding cooperation with the Cosmos ecosystem through IBC, and AA mechanism.


⚠️ Strengths & challenges

✅ zkEVM True‑EVM, easy to deploy dApp from Ethereum.

✅ Largest TVL in zkEVM, revenue fees ~327k USD/quarter.

✅ Strong infrastructure: AA, AWS, IBC

⚠️ Low market cap – high expectations.

⚠️ SCR price is in the recovery zone, highly volatile after ATL.

⚠️ Competing with Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon zkEVM, zkSync.


🧾 Conclusion

Scroll is a zkEVM standard bytecode solution, building an efficient settlement layer for the modular system. Large TVL and an increasingly diverse ecosystem help Scroll stand out. The future of “Beyond upgrade” & permissionless RollApps is the key to recovering the SCR token. Always monitor adoption factors and competition in the Ethereum ZK-L2 ecosystem.
