The Scroll Messenger

Scroll Alpha Testnet is now deprecated.
Please visit our new documentation for the Scroll Sepolia Testnet at https://docs.scroll.io/​
You can send arbitrary messages from L1 to L2 or vice versa through the Scroll Messenger contracts. This means we can execute functions on another chain in a secure and permissionless way. If you want to send a message from L1 to L2, use the messenger smart contract deployed at 0x5260e38080BFe97e6C4925d9209eCc5f964373b6 on Goerli testnet. If you want to send a message from L2 to L1, use the contract deployed at 0xb75d7e84517e1504C151B270255B087Fd746D34C on Scroll Alpha.
When sending a transaction through the Scroll Messenger deployed on Goerli and Scroll Alpha, the resulting transaction sender (CALLER or msg.sender) will be the Messenger Contract address deployed on the receiving chain. In future Scroll versions, enforced transactions will be introduced as a L1 contract. Sending enforced transactions will allow setting the sender on L2 as the original one on L1. It will also allow 3rd parties to relay signed transactions and also setting the
