Hello Scroll DAO,

Due to an overlap in topics, we decided to merge the updates from the past two weeks.

Two weeks ago, we met with RnDAO and Raza, Scroll’s Head of Growth. Last week, we had our weekly sync where we discussed how to incorporate the insights from the meetings in the final Strategy document, indicating Direction and Focus Areas, as well as evaluation criteria for the proposal pipeline. Below is a summary of the main points discussed in the meetings:

19/08 - Meeting with RnDAO - participants: @danielo; @Mecherodsim; @0xDonPepe; @Juanrah; @jashar; Eugene; Jamilya; Miana

  • We discussed:

    • The main builder motivations when choosing an ecosystem over another are.

    • What Scroll has been doing so far, the builders’ perception of it, what strategies worked, and what strategies need improvement.

    • The pyramid of builder support needs.

    • Entry barriers for builders in Web3 ecosystems and what Scroll can do to mitigate them.

    • Builder archetypes.

    • Main concepts that the EGC can experiment with.

If you did not get the chance to read RnDAO’s Scroll Builder Support Research, we warmly recommend doing so.

21/08 - Meeting with Raza - participants: @RazaRazaRazaRazaRazaRazaRazaRaza ; 0xDonPepe; JuanRah; @Natalie; Jashar; Jamilya; @Markuge@MarkMarke; @Mark; Miana

  • We discussed:

    • Scroll’s history in terms of strategic direction.

    • Scroll’s current strategic direction.

    • How Scroll differentiates from other Web3 ecosystems.

    • Alignment with EGC’s identified strategic direction.

    • Relevant metrics for the Labs.

We would like to thank both RnDAO and Raza for meeting with us and helping us shape our strategic direction and set our strategic priorities.

    • Proposal Evaluation Metrics.

    • Proposal Pipeline.

    • Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for proposal submission.

    • Requests for Proposal (RFPs) for the main identified growth vertical.

Action request for the community:

  • Please review and give feedback on the EGC Charter. As a DAO document, it requires the community’s feedback and endorsement to be included in the upcoming voting cycles. We aim to include it in the October voting cycle.

Please let us know if you have any questions or remarks.

Thank you,
The EGC
