Scroll zkEVM Introduction Guide

This article will introduce beginners to how to interact with L2 Dapps, using Scroll zkEVM as an example. The skills here are also applicable to other layer two networks. We will demonstrate using an on-chain tic-tac-toe game running on the Scroll L2 network.

Preparation Work

First, you need to install Metamask or a similar crypto wallet. If you already have one, you can skip this step.

Step 1: Configure the Test Network

Scroll zkEVM has currently launched its alpha testnet, which is a layer 2 network compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It is currently connected to the Ethereum Goerli testnet. You need to add both of these networks to Metamask.

Step 2: Obtain Test Coins

Next, you need to acquire some ETH from the Goerli testnet. You can use multiple faucets to obtain it, such as Alchemy's faucet, PoW mining faucets, etc. It is recommended to try different faucets to get enough test coins.

Step 3: Cross-Chain Transfer

After obtaining Goerli test coins, you need to transfer a portion of ETH to the Scroll L2 test network. You can use the cross-chain bridge provided by the official sources to carry out this operation. This process may take some time to complete.

Step Four: Experience On-Chain Games

You can now try playing the on-chain Tic Tac Toe game on Scroll L2. After connecting your wallet, create a new game by adding your opponent's address. There is also an interesting "reset" feature in the game that allows players to restart under certain circumstances.

Step 5: Explore More Applications

If you are interested in other applications on Scroll, you can check the official Dapps list to try more interesting projects.

By following these steps, you can start exploring applications on Scroll zkEVM and other L2 networks. This will not only help you understand new technologies but also allow you to experience the innovative applications brought by blockchain.
