An EVM-equivalent Layer 2 zk-rollup on Ethereum, Scroll offers bytecode-level compatibility and validity proofs for low fees, fast finality, and Ethereum-grade security.
Scroll is an Ethereum Layer-2 zkEVM (EVM‑equivalent zk‑rollup) on mainnet that uses native ETH for gas and inherits Ethereum security. It targets low‑fee, high‑throughput DeFi, payments, gaming, and NFT apps, letting teams redeploy Solidity contracts and existing Ethereum tooling without code changes. Users can bridge ETH and ERC‑20s via the official Scroll Bridge or reputable third‑party bridges to move liquidity cross‑chain.
Scroll is bytecode‑level EVM equivalent (Geth‑compatible), so apps run unmodified while each batch is proven with zero‑knowledge proofs, giving near‑finality in minutes and no week‑long fraud windows seen on optimistic rollups. For performance, typical L2 fees are in the cents range (≈$0.005–$0.05 for simple transfers, swaps higher based on L1 gas), block time ~2s, realized throughput in the tens to low‑hundreds of TPS with higher bursts, and activity often in the hundreds of thousands to low‑millions of daily transactions—competitive with top L2s. The stack is open‑source with a community‑built prover and an Ethereum‑aligned roadmap toward a decentralized sequencer, while using ETH as the native currency for seamless UX.
Scroll uses ETH as the gas token for transaction fees. You can obtain ETH by bridging from other chains or purchasing using thirdweb Bridge.
To bridge ETH to Scroll, connect your wallet to thirdweb bridge, select your source chain, choose the token you want to bridge, select Scroll as the destination, enter the amount, and confirm the transaction. The bridge will handle the cross-chain transfer instantly.
To build on Scroll you can use thirdweb, which provides an easy way to build, monetize and scale your apps, games or agents. You can find detailed guides and documentation on https://portal.thirdweb.com to get started quickly.
To add Scroll to your wallet, you can connect your wallet and click on [Add to Wallet] button at the top of the page. Alternatively, you can add the network manually using the RPC URL and chain details and add it to your wallet's network settings.
To send ETH on Scroll, ensure your wallet is connected to the Scroll network, enter the recipient's address, specify the amount of ETH to send, review the gas fee, and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
