About:
I’m an active DAO contributor with a background in social and political sciences. Since writing my thesis on governance, I’ve been passionate about advancing good governance practices in decentralized ecosystems. I’m focused on establishing robust processes, supporting DAO maturity, and being a strong community advocate.
Vision for Scroll:
I believe in zk-rollup Layer 2 solutions and think Scroll is on a good mission to become one of the major protocols for that matter, while aligning with the broader Ethereum ecosystem. What matters most to me is aligning incentives between contributors and prioritizing education as a core pillar of long-term success.
Since joining the DAO as an initial delegate, I’ve been an active contributor and advocate for the Scroll ecosystem. I’ll do my best to keep up with the discussions and contributing to meaningful governance.
Core Values:
- Community: I’m committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful environment where diverse perspectives are valued. My goal is to promote open dialogue and ensure decisions reflect the community’s collective will.
- Education: : I view education as a gateway to onboarding new talent and fresh ideas. It’s a top priority for me and a key driver of long-term growth in the Scroll ecosystem.
- Data-Driven Decision-Making: I advocate for using data, KPIs, and analytics to guide governance decisions and ensure efficient treasury management.
Disclosures/Conflicts of Interest:
I’m also an active delegate in other DAOs, primarily RARI and zkSync. Views expressed are my own.

June voting cycle, proposal nr. 5-10
Voted: For
Rationale: The local node program is a promising framework to support regional initiatives within the Scroll DAO. Brazil is identified as one of the four key regions by the Scroll Foundation, alongside Kenya, South Korea, and Malaysia. The proposal outlines a clear 3-month pilot phase with a $30k cap, followed by evaluation—this feels like a prudent and well-scoped approach. Brazil has a strong and growing web3 community, and the proposal includes solid details on deliverables, finances, and the evaluation process.
Voted: For
Rationale: Similar to the Brazil proposal, Kenya is one of the core regions with high potential for ecosystem growth. The proposal presents a wide range of activities over the initial 3-month pilot, and includes a clear timeline and breakdown of deliverables.
Voted: For
Rationale: This is a practical and low-risk proposal to ensure proposals can pass even when top delegates are unavailable. I support it as an intermediate solution that avoids reducing the quorum threshold, which is already relatively low. I support it as an intermediate fix, especially given the planned monthly/quarterly evaluations in case votable supply increases.
Voted: For
Rationale: This is a well-structured retroactive delegate rewards proposal. For this one-time initiative, the criteria are well calibrated, balancing between inclusivity and incentivizing deeper engagement. I appreciate the focus on measurable contributions. Overall, this is a strong signal that governance work is valued, and it’s a good step toward attracting and retaining quality contributors.
Voted: For
Rationale: The proposal is well-structured and provides a clear plan to launch the first council focused on growth. The mix of Foundation members, delegates, and professionals seems balanced. I support the mid-term scope and the added accountability through regular reporting and the delegate veto option. This is a good starting point to support growth efforts through a dedicated council.
Voted: For
Rationale: Similar to Brazil and Kenya. The 3-month approach is a reasonable timeframe to evaluate the potential impact in a region. The proposal introduces a unique mobile local node/hybrid approach, which is an innovative adaptation to regional needs. The concept fits well into the overall local node framework.

August voting cycle, proposal nr. 10-14
Feynman Upgrade
Voted: For
Rationale: Great to see continued protocol development on Scroll. This upgrade improves security, EVM compatibility, and simplifies smart contracts. It follows a well-tested process, was reviewed by auditors and delegates, and supports Scroll’s ongoing technical evolution.
Community Council Formation Proposal
Voted: For
Rationale: Solid proposal that sets up a well-needed structure to support Local Nodes and potentially community grants. The council composition, evaluation criteria, and planned charter provide a strong foundation for scalable, community-driven growth.
Security Subsidy Program for Scroll Builders
Voted: For
Rationale: Audit costs remain one of the major hurdles for projects, so this proposal’s approach to subsidize security services is a strong, practical way to support builders aiming to develop sustainable and secure products. The proposal has been discussed for a while, and the adaptations made seem reasonable.
Better DAO Decisions & Aligned Incentives: Research on Carroll Mechanisms
Voted: For
Rationale: I appreciate the focus on innovating governance systems and support Scroll’s involvement in cutting-edge research. The proposal is well-written, and the team is clearly experienced, with a strong academic foundation. However, given the experimental nature of the concept and the short time available for review, I found the scope difficult to fully grasp. Additionally, key terms regarding investment structure, prior funding, and concrete deliverables remain unclear to me. Given the size of the requested investment, I would prefer more clarity on tangible benefits for Scroll.

September voting cycle, Proposal nr. 15-19
Governance Council (GC) Formation
Voted: For
Rationale: I’ve seen growth and community building as the DAO’s main priorities, with governance research more of a long-term initiative. That said, it made sense to support the governance team with their workload by establishing a dedicated council.
Governance Contribution Recognition (Cycle 2: May - December 2025)
Voted: Abstain
Rationale: Co-authored the proposal, abstained to avoid conflict of interest.
Scroll DAO Timelock Test
Voted: For
Rationale: This was an easy yes, considering the DAO (would have) come closer to on-chain execution.
DAO Treasury Management RFP
Voted: For Avantgarde
Rationale: Both Avantgarde and kpk presented very strong proposals, with kpk bringing solid experience in on-chain treasury management and risk controls. What mattered most to me was choosing a provider committed to working iteratively with the community, prioritizing the use of SCR rather than selling it, and offering good pricing. Avantgarde’s approach came across a bit more sophisticated on these points. This proposal remains valuable regardless of where Scroll’s governance ends up, treasury management should be in place in either case.
