“SCR will be used as a primary governance mechanism of the protocol and progress to being a protocol utility token as Scroll becomes more decentralized,” the team wrote. After the governance has made progress in decentralization, the token will also be used to support decentralization of Scroll’s prover and sequencer.
The team shared that 15% of its total token supply will go towards airdrops, with this first one, happening on Oct. 22, having 7% of the share. There will be a total of 1 billion SCR tokens.
Some 17% will be allocated to investors, and 10% will go towards the Scroll Foundation. The rest will be split up for the Scroll ecosystem as well as Scroll contributors.
The token will be launched via Binance Launchpool, which will receive a 5.5% token allocation in rewards.
“We are ready for the next chapter of Scroll – to build scalable, secure infrastructure and drive towards real-world adoption with global distribution,” the Scroll team wrote in a blog post.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
