Here’s an update on what we’ve been up to for the second quarter of 2025.
Voting
[Vote] Euclid Upgrade - Voted FOR
We supported this proposal after a evaluation for our researchers at L2BEAT to review the proposed changes, so we have confirmed that, once they are executed, they will only do what’s described in the proposal Overall, Euclid is a vast and technically complex upgrade since it changes things both on the DA side (blob encoding) and on the proving side (upgrading circuits moving from Scroll zkEVM to OpenVM).
[Vote] Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal - Voted AGAINST
We voted against the proposal, recognizing StableLabs’ efforts but raising fundamental concerns about the concept and structure of a delegate accelerator program. We argued that training individuals without a direct stake in Scroll’s success misaligns with the intended role of delegates and risks low practical impact, especially without guaranteed voting power. We also found the program’s costs unjustified, its accountability unclear, and its goals difficult to measure. Despite our opposition, we expressed willingness to support the program’s success if it were to pass.
[Vote] Mexico Mobile Scroll Node: A Founder-Focused Onboarding and Support Program - Voted FOR
We voted in favour of this one because a mobile “Scroll bus” that pairs local workshops with an online builder track is a creative and cost-conscious way to meet Mexico’s fast-growing Web3 scene.
[Vote] Proposal: Brazil Local Node - Voted
Modular Crypto already has a deep foothold in the Brazilian builder scene, and its three-month plans, along with a trio of in-person events, feel like exactly the push Scroll needs in Latin America. So we decided to support this initiative.
[Vote] Kenya Scroll Local Node Founder Program - Voted FOR
Web3Clubs already operates a functioning Nairobi lab and has a credible network across East Africa. The plan they suggested will yield a positive outcome for the Scroll ecosystem, so we have decided to support this proposal.
[Vote] Proposal: Ecosystem Growth Council Formation - Voted FOR
We supported this proposal, recognizing the value of a focused group backed by the Scroll Foundation to drive initiatives efficiently. However, we recommend starting with a smaller council to ease coordination and enable more precise performance assessment. We also emphasize the importance of clearly designating an accountable lead to avoid the diffusion of responsibility. While we hold no strong views on compensation or budget size, we strongly advocate for thorough and transparent documentation of all expenses.
[Vote] Proposal Title: Votable Supply Adjustment - Auto-Abstaining Wallet - Voted FOR
From our perspective, the 500k SCR “auto-abstain” wallet is a straightforward and low-risk approach to prevent proposals from failing due to governance apathy. So, we decided to support this initiative.
[Vote] Proposal: Gov Contribution Recognition - Retro & Working Group - Voted FOR
We voted in favor because retroactive compensation is a positive step, and we appreciate the Foundation’s use of a precise formula. Our primary concern is formalizing a recurring GCR model without broader discussion. We commit to engaging actively before any future proposal is put to a vote.
Discussions
[Discussion] Proposal: Votable Supply Adjustment
We expressed opposition to delegating voting power from the treasury, citing governance risks and conflicts of interest, particularly when such power would be given to existing delegates to address quorum issues that had not yet materialized. We argued that this approach undermined the relationship between token holders and delegates, potentially distorting voting dynamics. Instead, we proposed exploring quorum-rescue mechanisms, such as a multisig inspired by Optimism’s ACC, or considering a slight quorum reduction as a more transparent and lower-risk alternative.
[Discussion] Proposal: Security Subsidy Program for Scroll Builders
We expressed support for the audit subsidy proposal, seeing it as a low-cost, high-impact way to strengthen ecosystem security. We agreed decisions shouldn’t be automated and suggested the Foundation or EGC take responsibility for fund allocation, ideally with input from the growth or BD team to ensure strategic alignment.
L2BEAT’s Office Hours
We want to remind everyone that every week, we’re hosting Scroll Office Hours on Google Meets.
The office hours are held every Friday at 3 pm UTC/ 11 pm EST
During Office Hours, you will be able to reach L2BEAT’s governance team, which consists of Kaereste (Krzysztof Urbanski), Sinkas (Anastassis Oikonomopoulos), and Manugotsuka (Manuel González), and discuss our activity as delegates.
The purpose of the office hours is to gather feedback from the people who have delegated to us, answer any questions about our voting activities and rationale, and collect input on topics you’d like us to discuss.
You can add the L2BEAT Governance Calendar to your Google Calendar to find the respective Google Meets links for every call and easily keep track of Office Hours, as well as other important calls and events relevant to Connext that the L2BEAT governance team will be attending or hosting.
