Scroll Upgrades zkVM to OpenVM v1.6.0 for Enhanced Security
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 The upgrade requires a new on-chain verifier contract due to changes in the prover's constraint system. No impact on EVM, fees, contracts, or user-facing interfaces. This update is part of Scroll's ongoing commitment to harden its zk infrastructure and maintain alignment with the latest verified-security guarantees.

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.
