Bankless Author: William Peaster

One of our top-hunted L2s in Airdrop Hunter is Scroll. What's the deal with this fledgling network?

Scroll is a Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution for Ethereum that's designed as a "zkEVM," which is a zk-rollup that's compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Upon deploying its mainnet in October 2023, Scroll became one of the first active zkEVMs in the cryptoeconomy and has since grown into one of the top 20 L2 networks by size.
