Future

Scroll Alpha Testnet is now deprecated.

Please visit our new documentation for the Scroll Sepolia Testnet at https://docs.scroll.io/

Currently, the computation required for proof generation is done and subsidized by Scroll.

In the future, the prover network will be decentralized and require the incorporation of rewards to be earned by the protocol’s actors for the system to be sustainable and scalable.

The final gas cost will include the cost of proof generation, which, as the protocol becomes further optimized, will become cheaper as they're shared between all transactions on the network.
