Scroll block time

As of October 31, 2026, Scroll block time is 3.53 s at the median (p50, 24h window), with 23.05 s at p90 and 58.74 s at p99. Scroll ranks #8 of 9 chains measured on this benchmark.

Scroll block time is 3.53 s (p50, 24h). Scroll is a bytecode-equivalent zkEVM running a centralized sequencer that batches transactions for a Halo2-based prover; the nominal block target is 3 s but the practical floor is driven by the prover-batch cadence, identical in shape to Linea and zkSync, with a long idle tail when traffic is sparse. Measured via the public Scroll WebSocket and `newHeads` deltas.
