Hello Scroll DAO,
The CC continues to oversee and guide key community-driven programs, including Local Nodes and event grants, and has held two new calls for this purpose.
CC Weekly Call
Thu, 18 Sept 25 (10:00 AM UTC-5) · @gabriellamena, @Juansito, @Joey, @mimetista.eth, @Carla
Key Updates
Grants Program Final Review
- Pilot a simple 3-month community grant stream.
- Budget clarification: $100k USD to be distributed flexibly across categories (events, meetups, hackathons, flex requests).
- KYC is required only for grants over $2k.
- Key metrics defined with a focus on achievable outcomes across all regions.
- If the grant request is happening within a Local Node Region with their endorsement, the Community Council will determine using budget from the Local Nodes budget instead of the Community Grant budget.
Local Nodes Strategic Pivot
- Enhanced collaboration between the Open Economy team and Local Nodes is planned.
- Open Campus changes include an emphasis on founder development time requirements.
- Now Local Nodes should focus on:
- Distribution and adoption (Scroll and its projects such as EtherFi Cash, ChatterPay and others).
- Accelerate and support builders and local projects.
- Funnel to “Open Economy” via Scroll alignment education.
