Details
Scroll new testnet upgrade enables smart contract deployment on Scroll. This allows developers to write and deploy their own contracts on Scroll using Ethereum developer tools.
What's new in the upgrade?
The new version supports the following features:
- Developers will be able to deploy smart contract applications using tooling like Hardhat and Foundry. Because our zkEVM is bytecode compatible with base layer Ethereum, Ethereum smart contracts will work natively on Scroll. We look forward to seeing what applications you are able to build and try out.
- Users can bridge NFTs and user-defined ERC-20s between the Layer 1 and Layer 2 testnets on Scroll upgraded bridge contract. Scroll now supports the ERC-20, ERC-721, and ERC-1155 standards.
The upgraded Pre-Alpha Testnet will be the first chance for early developers to experience contract deployment on Scroll and to interact with Scroll infrastructure. As the project scale its proving nodes, Scroll will relax the performance-motivated restrictions currently in place and onboard more testers.
How can I sign up and learn more?
While testnet registration is open to anyone, Scroll is permissioning access at this stage as it improves proving algorithm and scale proving cluster. Sign up at signup.scroll.io for testnet access as the team actively works to scale this up and support more users. Meanwhile, Scroll is excited to open the sign up for developers to get early support at scroll.io/early-dev.
- If you already have access, check out the new contract deployment doc and sample deploy repo.
- For those at DevCon Bogota, we are running a workshop at the ZK Community Hub from 1:30p to 3:00p on Oct 12. Come by in-person to deploy a contract on Scroll.
- To learn more about Scroll, check out the website, Twitter, or Discord.
What's next for Scroll?
Soon after this upgrade, Scroll will release Alpha Testnet:
- A fully permissionless testnet open to all users without whitelisting.
- Proving throughput improvement with increased compute and batch block verification.
- Generating and aggregating more pieces of the zkEVM proof to be verified on-chain.
Join the project
To become an early tester or contributor, sign up to try out Pre-Alpha Testnet at signup.scroll.io. In the meantime, if Scroll vision of scaling Ethereum in an open and community-driven way resonates with you, Scroll is looking for values-aligned individuals to help Scroll become the most developer- and user-friendly scaling solution for Ethereum.
- If you are a ZK researcher, ZKP, Go or Solidity developer, or GPU engineer, Scroll is working on many interesting technical challenges at the edge of what’s possible.
- If you love nurturing and growing ecosystems or communities, Scroll is looking for developer advocates and community organizers to build with us in a community-aligned and user-friendly way.
