The Modular Crypto endorses the proposal to establish a Scroll Local Node in Kenya.
We see this initiative as a concrete step toward the global expansion of the Scroll ecosystem. Kenya is one of the regions that the Scroll Foundation has identified as a priority within the Local Nodes Framework, as highlighted here.
However, the four priority regions identified by the Scroll Foundation — Malaysia, Korea, Brazil, and Kenya — are exempt from this initial step.
Kenya is a major hub of innovation, with a young, engaged, and creative community that has much to contribute to the future of Web3. Setting up a local node is a way to recognize this potential and build real bridges for more builders to access tools, support, and opportunities within Scroll.
The only feedback we would like to offer is regarding the proposed budget. The Scroll Foundation recommended a budget cap of $30,000 USD for a 3-month period, in order to ensure fairness and consistency across all Local Nodes. We kindly suggest that the Kenya team consider adjusting their proposed budget to align with this framework, which would help maintain equity among all participating regions.
