zkEVM network Scroll achieved a significant milestone on October 29, exceeding a milestone of 200,000 single-day transactions. The achievement coincided with an all-time high of 86,636 new addresses created in a single day. Scroll, a new player in the zero-knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine (zkEVM) sector, earlier recorded over $15 million in Total Value Locked (TVL) in less than one week of mainnet launch. 

Scroll Daily transactions Surge

According to data from Scrollscan, the number of daily transactions on the Scroll network soared to a new high of 202,711 on Sunday, October 29, 2023. 

Equally impressive is the spike in new addresses, with 86,636 unique addresses recorded on the same day. 

What could be driving the unprecedented surge in activity on Scroll? 

A potential catalyst fueling the surge is the recent introduction of the Scroll Origin NFT, a non-transferable soulbound NFT. On October 27, Scroll unveiled a commemorative NFT known as "Scroll Origins" to celebrate its early builders. 

This unique NFT features a Scroll-themed background, capturing metadata such as the first deployment date, the order of deployment, the deployment address, and the initial deployed contract transaction hash. Notably, Scroll plans additional surprises for builders who deploy exceptional contracts on the Mainnet.

“We envision the Scroll Origins NFT as a symbol of recognition for Scroll’s early builders, a link that bonds the Scroll community, and a reminder of what is possible when we build and collaborate together,” Scroll stated.

Pushing Boundaries

Scroll's mainnet journey began on October 17 following 15 months of rigorous testing and security audits across three different testnets. The Scroll Origins NFT has emerged as a strong catalyst for growth and community engagement. As Scroll continues to push the boundaries of zkEVM technology, the recent milestone serves as a testament to the platform's growing appeal and potential within the blockchain and NFT landscape.
