The Scroll community has identified and fixed the errors that were preventing eligible community members from claiming their unique Scroll Origins NFTs. A new smart contract has been deployed to allow affected users to mint their NFTs. Eligible participants need to submit their Ethereum addresses through a Tally form and wait for 5-7 business days. They can then connect their wallet to the Scroll Origins landing page and mint their NFTs. If any errors occur during the process, users can reach out to support moderators for assistance.

Circle's Bridged USDC Standard has been integrated into Scroll Mainnet, providing a significant composability upgrade that enhances user security and removes liquidity fragmentation for USDC. This new contract standard allows Circle to deploy a bridged form of USDC on Scroll while retaining the option to upgrade to native USDC issuance in the future. The integration brings advantages such as removing liquidity fragmentation, issuing USDC directly by Circle, and the ability to always verify full reserves. The upgrade improves security and user experience for the Scroll community.
