A new Web3 Deep Dive episode explores the evolution of digital infrastructure, featuring @sandyzkp and @Rachelwolf00. The discussion centers on a key observation: - Infrastructure development sometimes outpaces application development in internet history. This insight prompts reflection on the current state of Web3 and its future trajectory. Key points to consider: - How does this pattern apply to blockchain and decentralized technologies? - What implications does this have for developers and users? Watch the full episode for an in-depth analysis of this crucial aspect of Web3 development.

Scroll, a zkEVM technology company, is sponsoring the upcoming ETHGlobal Hackathon in Brussels. The event, scheduled to begin on July 12th, invites developers to innovate and build next-generation onchain applications using Scroll's zkEVM. Participating teams will compete for a share of a $10,000 prize pool. The competition features two tracks: Best Build Reading L1 State with L1SLOAD and Best Project on Scroll. Developers interested in participating can find additional details on the official ETHGlobal Brussels page.

Scroll, a zkEVM project, introduced 'Keystore,' a tool designed to act as an on-chain wallet manager for different smart wallets used across various blockchain networks. This tool aims to help minimize the effects of chain fragmentation. Additionally, Safe{Wallet} and Safe{Core} have gone live on the Scroll zkEVM, extending Safe's smart wallet infrastructure to the Scroll community. Scroll also welcomed Easy A, a mobile app that allows users to learn about the Scroll zkEVM through fun in-app challenges. The co-founders of Easy A joined Scroll for a discussion on X Spaces, where they talked about the new Scroll challenges available in the app. Furthermore, Scroll hosted representatives from Stake Stone and Tranchess to discuss their recent integration with Scroll and how the community can maximize their DeFi potential with STONE and CHESS.

The Bernoulli upgrade was executed on the Scroll Mainnet, significantly reducing transaction fees. The median cost of an Ethereum transfer on Scroll has decreased to approximately $0.036. The upgrade introduced support for EIP-4844 data blobs and the SHA-256 precompile, enhancing cost-efficiency and EVM compatibility. Scroll's co-founder, Ye Zhang, outlined the next focus areas, including data compression and proof aggregation, which are expected to further reduce fees by 2-5 times.

Scroll has announced the commencement of its VORTEx Hackathon, a global virtual event. The opening ceremony will be livestreamed, allowing participants from around the world to tune in at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time or 3:00 PM Coordinated Universal Time.
