RollCall: Coordinating L2 Teams for Ethereum Scalability
Members of the Scroll_ZKP team attended the monthly RollCall, a coordination call for L2 teams to collaborate on ideas and industry standards. The need for standardization in the rapidly evolving Rollup protocols was discussed. Two major topics were covered: EIP-7587, which proposes reserving an address range for RIP precompiles, and RIP-7212, the first finalized RIP proposal that designates an address for the r1 curve precompile. The next RollCall session will be held in mid-February.
Members from the @Scroll_ZKP team will be attending the monthly RollCall, hosted by @CarlBeek and @adietrichs. RollCall is a credibly-neutral coordination call aiming to bring together different L2 teams to collaborate on ideas and new industry standards. To help our community
1/ About six months ago, we proposed the EIP-7212. Now, this EIP will become the first Rollup Improvement Proposal (RIP) and will be integrated to various chains. Let's briefly review the present status of the RIP and the forthcoming updates 馃У
馃敀 Scroll Upgrades zkVM Security with OpenVM v1.6.0
Scroll is upgrading its zkVM prover stack from OpenVM v1.4.1 to v1.6.0, a focused security maintenance update addressing critical soundness issues. **Key improvements:** - STARK now targets 100 bits of provable security with FRI - RV32IM VM extension formally verified in Lean - Fixes for under-constrained SHA-256/Keccak circuits - Missing pairing-check validation resolved - Recursion-verifier constraint gaps patched **What stays the same:** No changes to EVM, fees, contracts, or user-facing interfaces. **Technical note:** The upgrade requires a new on-chain verifier contract due to tightened prover constraints.

Scroll Proposes Dissolving Security Council, Shifting to Admin Multisig
Scroll has announced a proposal to **dissolve its Security Council** and transition protocol admin control to a Scroll Admin multisig over the next ten days. **Key Points:** - The Security Council's cost no longer justified its actual usage over recent quarters - Resources will be redirected toward product development and growth initiatives - The team maintains confidence in their mature, audited infrastructure - Plans to work with stakeholders on a new security council structure better suited to current market conditions The engineering team that built Scroll's infrastructure will continue active maintenance under high security standards. Full contract specifics and governance details are available on the [Scroll governance forum](https://forum.scroll.io/t/governance-update-security-council-transition-contributor-roles-operational-adjustments/1470). This represents a significant operational shift as Scroll optimizes its governance structure while maintaining its commitment to user security.
Scroll DAO Plans Pilot Program for Ecosystem Documentation and Contributor Funding
Scroll DAO is developing a pilot program to create comprehensive ecosystem documentation. The initiative will produce: - A consolidated report - One-page summaries - Ecosystem maps All materials will be published on the forum for DAO and Foundation reference. **Funding Structure** Contributors will receive defined budgets based on: - Project scope - Specific deliverables The Scroll Foundation may provide data and insights to support the effort. This documentation project runs parallel to ongoing DAO-Foundation discussions about ecosystem growth strategies and user acquisition initiatives.
Scroll's Delegate Contribution Program Expands Beyond Simple Voting
The **Delegate Contribution Program (DCP)** is evolving to give delegates structured roles beyond traditional voting mechanisms. Key developments: - Delegates will take on **well-defined responsibilities** aligned with Scroll's strategic priorities - Focus areas include ecosystem growth, network security, and data transparency - The program aims to help the DAO make more effective progress in critical areas This shift represents a move toward more **active governance participation**, where delegates contribute specialized expertise rather than simply casting votes on proposals.
