June voting cycle, proposal nr. 5-10
Proposal: Brazil Local Node
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.
Kenya Scroll Local Node Founder Program
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.
Proposal Title: Votable Supply Adjustment - Auto-Abstaining Wallet
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.
Proposal: Gov Contribution Recognition - Retro & Working Group
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.
Proposal: Ecosystem Growth Council Formation
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.
Mexico Mobile Scroll Node: A Founder-Focused Onboarding and Support Program
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.
