Scroll is planning to evolve from a general-purpose public network into a private, application-specific network. Here is what you need to know
Scroll is shifting its focus to AI products and the network those products need.
The future network is being designed to help AI agents work together, protect sensitive information, and make payments within rules set by their owners. That means changing how the network works and who can participate, rather than continuing to operate it as a general-purpose public L2.
We want people to use Scroll because they need the products built with it. Building our own AI products gives the network a specific purpose and a way to attract ongoing usage.
Our own work with AI has highlighted a need for infrastructure that helps agents use different models, handle sensitive information, make payments, and operate within permissions set by their owners. We believe Scroll’s experience in ZK and network infrastructure gives us a useful foundation for addressing those needs.
This is the focus we are choosing for the next stage of Scroll’s development.
No. Scroll is not shutting down. We are pivoting to AI products and evolving the Scroll network to support them.
This does mean the current public L2 will change. It will not continue in its current general-purpose form, and existing apps and assets will need transition plans. We expect that process to happen gradually over approximately nine months, with advance notice and instructions for users and builders.
We are developing a connected set of products:
The network is intended to connect these products and help users control what their agents can do with their data and funds. The products are at different stages of development, and we are still building how they work together.
