Scroll Announces "Session Zero" Rewards Program

Users can now qualify for Scroll's "Scroll Marks" rewards program by transferring three types of assets—ETH, wstETH, and STONE—onto the Scroll platform through appropriate bridges.

Scroll has announced its "Session Zero" rewards program as a gesture of appreciation to the community for their active participation and contributions to the ecosystem.

To qualify for rewards under "Session Zero," users need to transfer assets to Scroll via designated bridges to earn "Scroll Marks." Specifically, rewards will apply when users transfer the following three asset types:

1. ETH and wrapped staked Ethereum (wstETH) via the native bridge to Scroll.
2. STONE tokens, which users receive from staking ETH on StakeStone, a yield-bearing token, can also be used to earn additional rewards. Users should subsequently transfer STONE tokens to Scroll via the platform's bridge to receive "Scroll Marks."

In the future, Scroll plans to introduce additional activities and various asset types to make "Session Zero" more engaging and appealing to the community.

Additionally, users who have been with the project since its early days, specifically from October 10, 2023—the genesis block launch on the Mainnet—will also receive Scroll Marks.

However, users residing in the United States or China do not qualify for the "Session Zero" program. Furthermore, users listed under restricted terms in Scroll's Terms of Service are also ineligible to participate.

Scroll is a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum based on zk-Rollups, utilizing zero-knowledge proof technology to ensure data accuracy while maintaining user privacy.

In March 2023, the layer-2 solution successfully raised $50 million USD, pushing its valuation to $1.8 billion USD. During the same period, Scroll deployed its zkEVM product on the Goerli testnet, marking the final phase before mainnet launch.

Since the launch of Scroll Mainnet, the protocol has attracted a total value locked (TVL) of $58.65 million USD, ranking 11th among Ethereum layer-2 projects according to DefiLlama data, following projects like Metis, zkSync Era, and Manta.
