Scroll Foundation X Chainlink Labs: A Strategic Partnership

Chainlink Labs has announced its strategic partnership with Scroll Foundation, the fully open-source zkRollup solution, to bolster its Ethereum scaling capabilities and provide developers with reliable Oracle services. This collaboration aims to amplify the growth and adoption of both platforms, setting the stage for secure and highly scalable decentralized applications.

By joining the Chainlink SCALE (Sustainable Chainlink Access for Layer 1 and 2 Enablement) program, Scroll looks to align itself with an initiative that focuses on the sustainable growth of Oracle infrastructure within layer-1 and layer-2 ecosystems. This partnership aims to empower developers by offering them access to high-quality, low-cost Oracle services.

Fueling Developer Innovation and Adoption

As part of Scroll's commitment, certain operational costs of Chainlink oracle nodes will be covered, enabling its developer community to access reliable Oracle services at a reasonable cost. The support assures a steady stream of essential data feeds and other essential Oracle services to the network, improving the security and feature richness of decentralized applications.

Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, expressed optimism about the partnership's potential to accelerate the adoption of Scroll's zkEVM layer-2 network. 

“By aligning the Chainlink and Scroll ecosystems, this collaboration supports developer innovation and fosters the creation of applications that underpin the long-term growth of the Scroll ecosystem," Johann said.

Scroll Foundation's goal is to enhance Ethereum's scalability while maintaining a community-centric approach. While Chainlink SCALE aims to expand Oracle infrastructure along with blockchain and layer-2 systems. Its primary goal is to equip L1s and L2s with high-demand, affordable, and premium Oracle services. Integrating with SCALE, Scroll could propel its ecosystem forward.
