ScrollMicro-cap

Scroll receives a B- risk grade (32/100) from Hindenrank, where lower scores indicate lower risk. Moderate risk — well-funded zkEVM with strong technical vision, but centralized sequencer and untested proof system migration are near-term risks An Ethereum Layer 2 that uses zero-knowledge proofs to process transactions faster and cheaper while inheriting Ethereum's security. It holds $750M in locked assets and raised $80M. Its C+ grade comes from a centralized sequencer that can censor transactions, a new unproven proof system, and no refund mechanism if your withdrawal gets stuck.

The key risks identified for Scroll are: (1) A single centralized operator decides which transactions get included. If they choose to block yours, your funds in the bridge can get stuck with no refund mechanism (2) The team is migrating to a brand-new proof system (OpenVM) that has limited audit history. A bug could allow fake transactions or freeze all withdrawals (3) Only 19% of SCR tokens are circulating. A massive unlock in October 2026 could crash the token price
