A thread: what is Scroll 👇

1/9

STEP 1: Enter prealpha.scroll.io

STEP 2: Add Scroll L1 Testner & Scroll L2 Testnet to your MetaMask

STEP 3: Don't forget to add test tokens so you can play around the ecosystem

What are zkEVMs?

These are zero-knowledge EVM solutions (built on top of Ethereum virtual machine)

Why are they needed?

"In the medium to long term, ZK rollups will win out in all use cases as ZK-SNARK technology improves". — @VitalikButerin

5/9

What @Scroll_ZKP brings to the table: another solution that aims to scale the Ethereum blockchain, using zero-knowledge technology.

How are they different from other ZK solutions?

• Scroll supports stuff built on EVM

• StarkNet uses an own virtual machine

6/9

Scroll features:

• 10+ DApps already deployed

• PreAlpha testnet launched

• TPS: with no data sharding, 1000-2000

• Open source

Scroll Airdrop for early users? 🪂

No airdrop was confirmed so far. However, we can test the chain, following the steps before.

• Vitalik, Barry Whitehat, Chih-Cheng Liang and Konstantopoulos made reviews of Scroll

• The team consists of 20 people (they are hiring)

8/9

Alpha tip: join their discord and be active there:

🔗 discord.gg/GQxeCTA4dJ

$HOP or $ACX gave an airdrop for social activities.

9/9

Alpha 2: $UNI holders voted for Uniswap v3 to be deployed on Scroll testnet.

Today, MetaMask launched MM Bridge 🦊

Also, a Google Form to be a testnet validator in the zk-EVM solution from ConsenSys just opened 4hs ago. Fill it now!

A reminder that this year Lubin already confirmed a MM token.

Here is what you can do to try and get all airdrops: 🧵🪂

This is the WhiteFoxMask airdrop thread I made in April.

I covered using the MetaMask swap feature. If you haven't already, give it a try. It's a good way to interact with MM at a blockchain level

These smart contracts could be used for a snapshot:

2/6

Today MetaMask launched a new feature: Bridges.

It's a bridge aggregator integrated with Hop, Connext, Celer, cBridge and Polygon Bridge.

Another good way to interact with MetaMask's smart contracts, this could serve for a snapshot.

Try it now: portfolio.metamask.io/bridge

ConsenSys is planning to launch a rollup zk-EVM: consensys.net/blog/research-development/consensys-rd-launches-an-updated-and-expanded-zk-evm-version

⚡️ They have just opened applications to participate on their testnet. Be quick, they might be open for just a few hours:

Team member says there could be rewards

Infura is a infrastructure service from ConsenSys, powering web3 services and allowing developers to connect to the Ethereum network.

There is a rumour that $INFURA might be on its way.

Covered it here:

twitter.com/OlimpioCrypto/status/1570863149741666304

5/6

There was a (month old) early access program application to join the new "decentralized" infrastructure service that infura wants to build.

Here is the form, still works:

🔗 infura.io/resources/network/decentralized-infrastructure-network-early-access-program

Anyways, go to their discord to check how to get involved.

6/6

Summary:

ConsenSys owns MM & Infura, and is planning to launch its own zk-EVM rollup

• $MASK → bridge and swap using MetaMask
• zk-EVM → Fill Google Form and participate in ConsenSys testnet
• $INFURA → Fill form and get involved in their decentralized future vision

Sorry if anyone is stuck with liquidity at FTX. Let's hope it gets resolved, these have been bad days for the industry

We need to keep moving forward, that's why I am posting these news.

My advice would be to withdraw all crypto from all CEXes until there's more visibility
