Scroll Governance Forum posted that the team will recently apply AI extensively in operations and product development. Previously, core chain operations required over 20 engineers, but now it is completed by fewer dedicated engineers in conjunction with AI agents, while maintaining existing usability and security standards. The team believes that blockchain can provide a trusted coordination layer to define and execute rules, and ZK can help agents interact with credentials, private data, and computations without exposing underlying information.The team is building an interconnected product stack: Compass is an iOS application that can access the large models and functions provided by the Compass API, and includes VPN and eSIM; Compass API is the AI routing infrastructure, connecting over 30 large models; CENO provides a trust layer through ZK, protecting credentials, agent context, and privacy computations; USX is used for payments and settlements; SCR continues to coordinate governance; the Scroll network serves as a trust and coordination layer. CENO has reached out to over 30 potential clients, of which 12 are participating in proof of concept testing.The team plans to gradually transform Scroll from a general public chain into a dedicated network centered around Compass and the AI product stack, with an overall transition expected to take about nine months. According to the current plan, SCR will migrate to the Ethereum mainnet to maintain accessibility and liquidity, with supply and token economics remaining unchanged, and will continue to serve as a governance token. This post is only a progress update, not an official proposal or vote, and further proposals regarding the network transformation and matters requiring DAO approval will be made separately.

Scroll's official announcement states that Binance has added an observation label to SCR today. Scroll is aware of this update and is communicating with the Binance team regarding the review matters. Scroll emphasizes that its focus remains unchanged and will continue to build and execute its established plans.Tokens with observation labels may have higher volatility and risk compared to other listed tokens, and Binance will closely monitor and continuously review them. Trading these tokens with observation labels carries risks, as these tokens may no longer meet listing standards and could be delisted. Binance will conduct regular project reviews and decide whether to add or remove observation labels based on the latest investigation results.

According to the official Lido blog, Lido DAO has revoked the "official" bridge endpoints for wstETH on nine networks: zkSync Era, Mode, Scroll, Mantle, Swell, Zircuit, Soneium, Polygon PoS, and Lisk, through a Snapshot vote.This move is a resource adjustment at the governance level and does not affect the technical operation of the related bridges and contracts. Users can still hold, transfer, or bridge back wstETH on the aforementioned networks to Ethereum. Lido will stop security monitoring, ecosystem, and market support for these networks, but no migration deadline will be set.

Due to the migration of the top decentralized application Ether.fi to Optimism, the Ethereum Layer-2 network Scroll has experienced a significant loss of funds, resulting in a total value locked (TVL) decrease of approximately $160 million and an annual fee loss of about $13 million.Scroll stated that it will propose a plan to dissolve the decentralized security committee and reduce DAO members to lower operational costs, with network control being handed over to the internal team. Additionally, Scroll briefly raised network gas fees by 1,280 times after the protocol migration, causing users to pay over $50,000 in extra fees, but it has since returned to normal. After this adjustment, Scroll's TVL has dropped to approximately $23 million. The official statement claims that all contract changes will remain transparent and verifiable on-chain.

According to official news, Scroll announced an important proposal regarding protocol and governance operations. The team proposed to dissolve the Security Council and transfer protocol management authority to the Scroll Admin multi-signature address, with the transition expected to be completed within the next ten days.Scroll stated that the costs of the Security Council are no longer reasonable compared to actual usage over the past few quarters, and resources should be better allocated to product development and growth. Scroll will work with key stakeholders to find a new Security Council structure that is more suited to current market conditions.

According to L2BEAT analysis, users of the Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll were overcharged more than $50,000 in transaction fees within about four days last week. The reason is that the Scroll team manually adjusted two rate multipliers in their Gas price oracle six times within six days, increasing each by 2 to 10 times, cumulatively raising the L1 data cost parameter to 1,280 times the original benchmark.Approximately 139,000 affected transactions originally had a total cost of only about $280, but were actually charged over $50,000, with automated bots accounting for the vast majority. L2BEAT pointed out that the overcharging was not an issue with the sequencer, but rather stemmed from the team's multiplier adjustments executed through a multi-signature wallet. This incident has raised questions about whether Scroll had previously subsidized users with rates below cost to maintain activity. According to DeFiLlama data, Scroll currently has a TVL of only $24 million, down 96% from its peak of $585 million in October 2024. As of the time of publication, Scroll has not publicly responded.

The decentralized staking protocol Ether.fi announced that its DeFi native crypto card product ether.fi Cash will migrate from the Scroll network to the OP Mainnet (Optimism Mainnet). The migration work will be completed in the coming months, involving approximately 70,000 active cards, 300,000 accounts, and millions of dollars in user locked assets (TVL).ether.fi Cash offers a non-custodial crypto payment experience, allowing users to spend directly with stablecoins or use staked and re-staked assets (such as eETH) as collateral for borrowing while continuing to earn yields and enjoy cashback rewards similar to traditional bank cards. The card can be used at all merchants that support Visa. Data shows that the Ether.fi card currently accounts for nearly half of the crypto native payment card transaction volume, becoming one of the leading products in this field. Meanwhile, the OP Stack processed approximately 3.6 billion transactions in the second half of 2025, accounting for 13% of the total crypto transaction volume during the same period, providing high throughput infrastructure support for this migration.

Scroll's official statement clarifies that the recent rumors about the closure of Scroll DAO stem from a misunderstanding of the governance structure reorganization announcement.The actual situation is that the DAO has not stopped; it is only undergoing governance structure adjustments. Governance is still functioning normally, and the Galileo upgrade proposal has been approved. Moving forward, community feedback will continue to be collected through the co-creation cycle. The complete governance plan for 2026 will be announced in January next year, and the current governance cycle will continue to progress before that.

ChainCatcher news, Scroll co-founder Ye Zhang posted on the X platform, pointing out that taxing Ethereum Layer 2 is a major poison for the future development of Ethereum. This shortsighted behavior sacrifices long-term scalability and ecosystem growth for short-term revenue, which is the practice of centralized enterprises, not a choice for neutral platforms. Measuring the value of ETH by only looking at Ethereum's revenue is putting the cart before the horse. The true value of ETH lies in its role as the core of thousands of rollup ecosystems, which is the way forward.

ChainCatcher message, Scroll announced on platform X that it is expected to upgrade to Stage 1 ZK-Rollup in April this year. This stage will support forced transactions, permissionless transaction submissions, complete zkEVM proofs, and will also establish a security committee composed of industry experts.
