Scroll is a Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zk-rollup technology for faster, cheaper transactions. It bundles user activity off-chain and submits a cryptographic validity proof to the mainnet, aiming for full EVM-equivalence.
Why it matters on AGON
AGON runs on Base, an Optimistic Rollup. Scroll is a zk-rollup. Both are L2s competing to scale Ethereum, but they use different cryptographic methods.
Understanding this landscape is critical for capital efficiency. Your USDC might be on Scroll, Arbitrum, or Polygon. To bet on AGON, you need to bridge those assets to Base. Knowing the security models and transaction finality times of different L2s helps you move funds safely and predictably before a big match on /markets. The L2 ecosystem is the infrastructure layer for on-chain traders.
How to apply
Evaluate L2s based on their specific trade-offs for your goal. Key metrics include Total Value Locked (TVL) as a proxy for liquidity, average transaction fees, and the security of the primary bridge.
A simple rule: for high-frequency degen strategies, low gas and speed are paramount. For managing your core AGON bankroll, the security assumptions of the L2 and its bridges are non-negotiable. Always check the official bridge and protocol documentation before moving significant size. The goal is to maximize on-chain edge, not get rekt by infrastructure risk.
