Introduction

After a successful journey through three testnets, Scroll is thrilled to announce the arrival of Scroll's Mainnet! Developers and protocols, it's your time to shine as you deploy your contracts and explore the limitless possibilities of Scroll's newly launched Mainnet. To mark this momentous occasion, the Scroll Origins NFT is being introduced, a unique NFT mint designed to celebrate the earliest contributors to the Scroll ecosystem. This NFT serves as a permanent on-chain testament to your presence during this pivotal moment in the journey.

Scroll's Core Values

Since day one, Scroll has remained committed to Ethereum-aligned values: openness, community-driven initiatives, and unwavering neutrality. While there are numerous ways to foster growth in an ecosystem, Scroll's mission is to organically nurture a community that offers equal opportunities for all to build, learn, and thrive in Web3. The Scroll Origins NFT stands as a symbol of recognition for early pioneers, a binding link within the Scroll community, and a constant reminder of what can be achieved when uniting to build and collaborate.

More Than Just Art

The aim was to create an NFT that goes beyond mere visuals. The Scroll Origins NFT embodies Scroll's dedication to zero-knowledge principles. Each NFT boasts a distinctive Scroll-themed backdrop encircled by a dynamic polynomial equation. The unique polynomial found in every NFT symbolizes the intricate mathematical foundations essential for generating and verifying zero-knowledge proofs, which form the core of Scroll zkEVM's functionality.

These curves, marked by their unique inflection points, are generated based on the deployment stage and metadata of the underlying contract. The Metadata includes:

• First deployment date

• Order of deployment (the first contract deployed post-Mainnet is marked as '1')

• Deployment address

• Initial deployed contract transaction hash

• Special surprises for extraordinary contracts (e.g., liquidity, interaction, complexity, etc.)

No two NFTs are alike, and each encapsulates both Scroll's technological legacy and its ongoing journey.
