PANews reported on March 15 that Scroll announced on the X platform that it is expected to upgrade to Stage 1 ZK-Rollup in April this year. This stage will support mandatory transactions, permissionless transaction submission, and complete zkEVM proofs. At the same time, a security committee composed of industry experts will be established.

Earlier news, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said he looks forward to seeing more L2 enter Stage 1. He once posted on the Fellowship of Ethereum Magicians message board that the Stage 0 network calls itself Layer 2 or "Rollup", and compressed versions of all its transactions are published to Ethereum. In Stage 1, the network smart contracts on Ethereum will contain fraud proofs or validity proof schemes to prevent developers from publishing invalid state roots. If developers try to fraudulently withdraw funds that do not belong to them or prevent users from making legal withdrawals, these transactions will normally fail.
