[Vote] Scroll DAO Timelock Test - Voted FOR
This proposal is a straightforward operational test of the timelock system, involving no cost to the DAO. We believe this step is necessary to confirm that the timelock is functioning properly before entrusting it with a larger share of the treasury.
[Vote] DAO Treasury Management RFP - Voted FOR Avantgarde
First, we would like to thank all the service providers who submitted proposals during the RFP stage. We engaged in conversations with each of them, and choosing a single candidate was far from easy.
As we noted in our earlier comment, treasury execution should be guided by clearly defined objectives and guardrails. Within that frame, Avantgarde offers a practical, on-chain-first setup (Safe + Zodiac roles) paired with professional accounting via Regen. Their approach combines configurable tools—stablecoin diversification, measured growth-asset exposure, and optional covered-call strategies settled natively on Scroll—rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
That said, we are mindful of the Foundation’s recent decision to pause new initiatives and of the resignation of the Head of Governance. By the Foundation’s own words, this proposal will not proceed immediately. While we regret this pause—especially given the quality of the work behind this proposal—we respect the decision. Once the pause is lifted, we believe Avantgarde’s framework remains a strong candidate to guide Scroll’s treasury management and should be revisited at that time.
[Vote] Governance Contribution Recognition (Cycle 2: May - December 2025) - Voted FOR
In our earlier rationale for Cycle 1, we supported retroactive recognition as a fair way to acknowledge the effort that helped get Scroll’s governance off the ground. At the same time, we raised reservations about turning GCR into a recurring program without clearer discussion and refinement.
With this second iteration, we see meaningful improvements. The shift from a formula-based model to a tiered, performance-scoring approach introduces more nuance and creates stronger incentives for quality participation rather than raw activity. By combining voting, rationales, forum engagement, and ecosystem involvement, the program better reflects what healthy delegate work should look like. Importantly, setting a 60% eligibility threshold helps ensure that only consistently engaged delegates are compensated.
We still believe that compensation design in DAOs is an evolving experiment, and future iterations should remain open to adjustment as the ecosystem matures. But overall, Cycle 2 feels like a step in the right direction—balancing inclusivity with accountability, and moving toward a more robust recognition of governance as real work.
[Vote] Governance Council (GC) Formation - Voted FOR
We believe that establishing a dedicated Governance Council is a sensible step for Scroll DAO. Having a small group focused on researching, experimenting, and developing a governance roadmap can help the DAO mature and avoid becoming stuck with the same tools and processes. The proposed structure is simple, with clear responsibilities and regular reporting, making it a solid framework to start with.
That said, we acknowledge the Scroll Foundation’s recent decision to pause new initiatives. This means that the council will not begin its work immediately, even if approved. While unfortunate, especially given the relevance of this proposal, we respect the pause. Once activity resumes, the Governance Council should be one of the first initiatives to move forward.
