Inventory of Scroll ecological projects: Seeking zkEVM leading players for gold mining opportunities

Author: Babywhale, Foresight News

The Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll, based on ZK Rollup, has garnered significant attention in the industry from last year to now. Scroll announced the completion of a $30 million Series A funding round led by Polychain Capital in April 2022 and a $50 million funding round with participation from Polychain Capital, Sequoia China, IOSG Ventures, Qiming Venture Partners, and OKX Ventures in March this year.

In April this year, at the "FORESIGHT 2023" annual summit co-hosted by Foresight Ventures and Foresight News, Scroll co-founder Sandy Peng stated that Scroll would launch its mainnet in the next three to four months. However, after confirming with the project team, it was clarified that Scroll would not launch its mainnet this month. Subsequently, Scroll officially announced the launch of its Beta testnet on the Sepolia testnet. The long-awaited mainnet may still take some time.

Previously, the Pre-Alpha and Alpha testnets opened by Scroll have attracted a large number of projects and users. This article will summarize the ecological projects listed on the Scroll official website, which will also be the "vanguard" after the Scroll mainnet goes live.

Note: Some auditing companies listed among the ecological projects on the Scroll official website are not counted as ecological projects.
