Scroll Airdrop - You are early!

Scroll is a highly anticipated Layer2 zkEVM. Let's check out the network, why we are bullish and how you can maximise your airdrop potential

Scroll launched its mainnet on October 17 after over 15 months of intensive testing. Multiple applications have already been deployed and the ecosystem is rapidly building momentum.

The network is well-funded and has raised $80 million in funding from investors including Polychain, Sequoia Capital and OKX Ventures.

What is Scroll?

Scroll is a cutting-edge Ethereum Layer2 network that is powered by zkRollup technology. At its heart, the Scroll zkEVM is bytecode-level compatible with Ethereum - this means that any Ethereum application can be deployed to Scroll without any changes. This makes it simple for developers to scale their applications with Scroll - a cheaper and (4 times) faster alternative to Ethereum.

Scroll’s architecture comprises the following elements:

• Scroll Node - the main gateway for users to interact with Scroll which includes a centralised Sequencer, Coordinator and Relayer;

• Roller Network - which generates transaction validity proofs; and

• Rollup & Bridge Contracts - which ensure data availability and facilitate asset transfers between Ethereum and Scroll.

Wen token?

Ether ($ETH) is the gas token on Scroll and the network has not publicly announced an airdrop of a native token.

The Scroll network’s values - transparency, decentralisation & credible-neutrality - are publicly disclosed on their website. An Airdrop is an efficient way to distribute protocol tokens to the Scoll community to decentralise protocol ownership. We are bullish on an airdrop for this reason.

2. Stake your stablecoins with ETH in a liquidity pool (see below)
