This follows a similar move by Binance, which had also recently added Scroll to its listings.

Scroll serves as a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, utilizing Zero Knowledge (ZK) proof technology to boost the network’s scalability.

This project is designed to enhance Ethereum’s performance while keeping the development environment user-friendly for programmers.

By implementing ZK proofs, Scroll enables off-chain transaction execution to be validated on-chain efficiently, minimizing computational demands and lowering transaction costs while improving transaction speed.
