Scroll’s live on mainnet
The launch of the Scroll mainnet comes after more than 15 months of extensive testnets and security audits. The development means Scroll is now publicly available.
“Our testnets have allowed us to approach the Mainnet release with the attention to detail and caution necessary to ensure its success,” the team noted an announcement published on Tuesday.
Since its initial release, Scroll’s testnets has seen more than 450,000 smart contracts deployed and over 90 million total transactions at an average of 305,000 transactions per day. Details shared via blog release also showed the production of over 9 million blocks and 280,000 zk proofs generated.
Users of the zkEVM-enabled scaling solution will benefit from EVM compatibility and the security of the Ethereum blockchain. But more than that, Scroll promises lower network fees and latency. In this case, developers canl leverage the platform’s technology for cost-efficient development of decentralised applications.
“We see a future where the vast majority of value transfer takes place on L2s on Ethereum. What will drive that adoption is improved user and developer experience,” Sandy Peng, co-founder of Scroll, said, adding:
“We focus on enabling developers to build blockchain applications that will anchor web3 in real world use cases, attracting new users en masse, and moving everyone forward.”
