Scroll

What is Scroll?

Scroll is a native zkEVM Layer 2 rollup built to scale Ethereum while preserving its security and decentralization guarantees. As a zero-knowledge rollup (zk-rollup), Scroll enables high-throughput, low-cost transactions by batching and proving large volumes of off-chain execution and settling them back onto Ethereum mainnet. Its compatibility with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) makes it easy for developers to deploy smart contracts using familiar tooling like Solidity and Hardhat—without needing to rewrite code.

Scroll’s mission is to contribute to Ethereum’s long-term scalability through open-source, censorship-resistant infrastructure that empowers decentralized applications (dApps) at scale. With zk-proofs as its foundation, Scroll ensures verifiability and transparency while reducing transaction bottlenecks for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and enterprise use cases.

Key Features and Use Cases

As a zkEVM rollup, Scroll combines performance and trust-minimization with a developer-friendly environment. Key features include:

• Full EVM Compatibility: Developers can deploy Ethereum-native smart contracts without modification
• zk-Proofs: Bundles thousands of transactions with cryptographic validity proofs for Layer 1 verification
• Low Fees and High Throughput: Efficient batch processing enables sub-cent fees with fast finality
• Decentralization-Aligned: Built with open-source values and a rollup-centric roadmap for Ethereum scalability

Scroll is used across diverse verticals, including:

• DeFi: Scalable infrastructure for AMMs, lending protocols, and derivatives platforms
• Enterprise Finance: Cost-efficient on-chain solutions for payment reconciliation and invoicing
• Tokenization: Seamless deployment of tokenized real-world assets with zk-validity guarantees
• Identity and Compliance: Enables zero-knowledge proofs for verifiable credentials and business KYC flows

Scroll maintains a robust developer ecosystem, with active integrations across Chainlink, The Graph, and popular Web3 libraries. Its roadmap includes decentralized sequencer infrastructure and increased zk-proof generation performance for larger-scale business deployments.

Integration with Cryptoworth

Cryptoworth integrates directly with Scroll to support institutional-grade accounting workflows for zk-rollup environments. It ingests transaction data—including gas fees, smart contract interactions, staking, and bridging activity—and maps them into categorized journal entries.

• Detects and reconciles ERC-20 transfers, NFT movements, and protocol interactions
• Supports cost basis tracking and performance attribution across wallets or business entities
• Normalizes zk-rollup metadata into standardized accounting fields for general ledger exports
• Provides end-to-end visibility for auditors and controllers using Scroll-based DeFi infrastructure

Scroll’s efficiency and zk-layer security make it an ideal environment for enterprise teams looking to scale blockchain operations without compromising on accounting precision or audit-readiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What accounting features does Cryptoworth support for Scroll?

Cryptoworth captures Scroll transactions—like zk-rollup batch executions, DeFi interactions, and contract calls—and maps them to accounting-ready formats. This includes cost basis, token flows, and fee reconciliation. Learn more in our Crypto Accounting Software overview.

How are zk-proofs handled in accounting workflows?

zk-proofs on Scroll verify transaction validity but don't impact accounting logic. Cryptoworth extracts the underlying activity (transfers, swaps, gas fees) and tags it with the correct financial classification. These insights support workflows outlined in our Crypto Cost Basis Calculator.

Can I track wallets and activity across Scroll and other Layer 2 chains?

Yes. Cryptoworth supports multi-chain visibility across Scroll, Arbitrum, Optimism, and more. Cross-chain activity is normalized in your subledger for clean reconciliation and export. See how it works in our Crypto Audit solution.
