Scroll, the Ethereum Layer-2 network, shared on Wednesday that it has launched its Euclid update, which the team called its most significant protocol transformation to date.
According to Scroll Labs, a key consequence of the update is that the transitions move from a “stage 0” to a curled up of “stage 1”, which means that the network will remove some security features centrally controlled in an effort to become more decentralized.
“Euclid represents the greatest leap forward for the parchment since its inception,” the team wrote in a blog post shared with Coindesk. “It is a statement about the future of Scroll and its commitment to overcome the limits of what is possible in the ZK roll sand.”
Euclid update includes a range of features designed to improve network performance, increase the compatibility of certain applications and reduce data storage costs. In addition, the update makes the wallets easier to use through Account abstractionwhich allows developers to automate certain characteristics through intelligent contracts.
Displacement is a zero knowledge roll: a blockchain scale solution that uses zero knowledge technology to process cheaper and more efficient transactions than in the base network, Ethereum.
The new update occurs when Scroll has seen that its user activity collapsed to the minimum of all time. Currently, $ 62.6 million are blocked with the protocol, 94% decreased from the historical maximum of more than $ 900 million on the network, according to defillma data.
Scroll TVL sank precipitously from October 18, 2024, which is when a snapshot was taken to determine eligibility for the Airdrop of Displacement token.
Scroll’s statement that with the Eulicid update has passed to a curled up “Stage 1” of a 2022 blog post for the Ethereum co -founder, Vitalik Butein, who proposed to categorize the rolls according to their degree of decentralization. Buterin introduced its framework in the early days of the Rollups, when practically all the “layer 2” training networks used the so -called training wheels, characteristics that sacrificed decentralization for efficiency, safety and other benefits.
Without clear standards to communicate the stage of a role – declared in x that would only publicly mention layer 2 networks that had reached stage 1 or beyond.
At that time, only the referee and optimism were at that stage. Since then, Unichain, Ink and Kinto have joined them, According to L2beat.
The Euclid update helps to decentralize the Scroll sequencer, the system that processes and orders transactions before they are sent to Ethereum. According to the Publication of the Scroll blog, the new features ensure that the Scroll team cannot unilaterally block or censor transactions, which was theoretically possible under the previous configuration.
Scroll states that he is the first curled up zero knowledge in reaching the phase of stage 1.
