Scroll, Axiom, developer Max Gillet, and the Ethereum Foundation’s Privacy and Scaling Exploration (PSE) team announced the launch of OpenVM, an open source zkVM framework for instant proofs.
Scroll L2 will adopt OpenVM as its zkVM and plans to verify mainnet blocks in the coming months. This will transition Scroll from its current Type-3 to Type-1 zkEVM, the most complete zkEVM type equivalent to Ethereum. Scroll will soon upgrade to Stage-1 rollup with a fully functional proof system. (Blockworks)
