Scroll Community Divided Over Centralization Concerns The recent listing of Ethereum (ETH) zkEVM scaling project Scroll on Binance has sparked a debate within the community over concerns of centralization. User zengjiajun_eth raised concerns, stating that "Scroll's listing on Binance is like surrendering to a centralized exchange (CEX). Imagine if Ethereum (ETH) refused to be listed on OKX and Vitalik Buterin paid 5.5% to OKX founder Mingxing Xu." However, Scroll co-founder Ye Zhang clarified that "the partnership with Binance is not about surrendering to a CEX for listing, but part of our strategy to expand the ecosystem. To compete with Tron (TRX) and attract a diverse set of users in the market, the support of strong CEXes is essential." The debate highlights the ongoing tension between the desire for decentralization and the need for adoption and growth in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. With CEXes still playing a dominant role in onboarding new users, projects like Scroll face the challenge of balancing their commitment to decentralization with the practical need to engage with centralized entities.
