Ethereum L2 Scroll plans to pivot from a general-purpose public chain to an AI-application-specific network, with an expected transition period of approximately 9 months.

BlockBeats News, September 9 — Ethereum Layer 2 Scroll team released a latest update in the governance forum, stating plans to gradually transition Scroll from a general-purpose public chain into a private, application-specific network centered around Compass and its AI product ecosystem, with the overall transition process expected to take approximately 9 months. Scroll stated that over the past few months, the team has applied AI to network operations and product development, and is currently building a product ecosystem comprising Compass, Compass API, CENO, USX, and SCR.

Among these, Compass provides AI models and features such as VPN and eSIM, Compass API offers routing services for over 30 LLM models, and CENO leverages ZK technology to provide a trust layer for credentials, context, and privacy computation for AI agents. The team noted that CENO currently has over 30 potential clients, with 12 undergoing proof-of-concept (POC) testing; Compass remains in the early consumer validation stage. In the network transition plan, SCR will migrate to the Ethereum mainnet to maintain broad accessibility and liquidity. Scroll stated that SCR's supply and overall tokenomics will remain unchanged, and it will continue to serve as the governance token of the Scroll network.

Scroll emphasized that this post is merely a progress update and not a formal proposal or vote. The team will submit a separate network transition plan for DAO consideration once relevant details are finalized.
