Reserve your root name today!

The World Wide Scroll beta is live!

You can now reserve a root name on The Scroll!

When you buy a root name, you get to name and edit a root "folder" in the World Wide Scroll.

A root folder is just a few lines of data about your folder and where the files reside, that is written to the root.scroll file.

Revenue from root name sales go toward the development of The Scroll ecosystem including funds to "WWS Reps" who help onboard and maintain the community.





After you buy your root name, check out the Getting Started Guide.

Fine Print





Values

Craftsmanship, truth, courage, laughter, intelligence, science and love.

These are the words that guide The Scroll.
