LifeofDan-EL Delegate Thread

[LifeofDan-EL]

Hello everyone, I’m LifeofDan-EL (Daniel Anomfueme), a Technical Project Manager and Community Builder with a Computer Science background. Over the past five years, I’ve specialized in bridging technology and community development across diverse sectors.

I have been a contributor at VitaDAO for 3 years now in the Coordination Working Group, where I work across Governance, Tokenomics, and Tech-Product squads to advance decentralized science initiatives. As the founder of DeSci Africa, I’m leading efforts to introduce and expand decentralized science across the African continent.

My experience spans project management, community development, and technical implementation. Being selected as a Devconnect Scholar in 2023 has further deepened my understanding of Web3 ecosystems and their practical applications.

Through these roles, I’ve developed expertise in:

• Building and nurturing both technical and non-technical communities
• Managing complex technological solutions across various industries
• Implementing decentralized governance strategies
• Fostering innovation in emerging markets

A message to the community and ecosystem: As an active participant in VitaDAO governance and a keen observer of multiple Web3 protocols, I bring both hands-on governance experience and broad ecosystem awareness to the role of Scroll delegate. My involvement with VitaDAO has given me practical insight into decentralized governance, while my consistent monitoring of other protocols helps me identify effective strategies and potential pitfalls in the space.

My background in Decentralized Science, combined with my ongoing analysis of various protocols’ developments, positions me to spot valuable opportunities for Scroll’s ecosystem. I maintain active oversight of multiple protocol initiatives, which helps me understand what drives real-world value versus what looks promising only on paper. Specifically, I plan to:

• Apply lessons learned from VitaDAO’s governance model
• Leverage my understanding of cross-protocol developments to inform decision-making
• Focus on practical, value-driven proposals that align with Scroll’s vision
• Identify opportunities where DeSci initiatives could enhance Scroll’s ecosystem

I believe my combination of direct governance experience and broad protocol knowledge will help guide Scroll’s growth in a sustainable and innovative direction.

Top Issues

• On builders, I believe builders should be supported and given the right incentives to make them build long term.
• On community, I believe the voice of the community is very important and everyone should have a voice and be heard.
• On decentralization. I believe decentralization is key, that is the ethos of web3 and why we are here. We should seek to apply the principle in what we do.
• On governance, I believe governance still has a lot of rough patches to be made, however, there should be care for the community and also a willingness to learn.

Conflict of interest

As transparency is key for governance, if there is any conflict of interest with a proposal, I would mention that and abstain from it, if it’s the best decision to be made.

I plan to use this thread to share my rationale behind votes and also get feedback from the community. Thanks for delegating to me, and feel free to ask questions.

You can always reach out to me on Twitter and on Telegram.

Rationale for the first proposal from the DAO.

Proposal: Research to inform a builder support strategy

Proposal Title: Research to inform a builder support strategy Proposal Type: Growth Summary As Scroll seeks to grow, it’s critical to understand why builders and entrepreneurs choose to develop on a specific ecosystem and what the success factors are. Critical choices for designing a grant program, incubation, and/or builder support systems depend on these insights to avoid wasting money and maximise impact. To deliver these insights and inform Scroll’s approach to ecosystem development, we’ll…

It has been a interesting experience, working and listening with other people who have been past of the Cocreation cycle and seeing this proposal by Daniel and the RnDAO team live.

I am voting FOR, for this proposal because I strongly believe it is important to work with data, if we are to make good decisions for the DAO. Getting to have more context about what works best in other ecosystems and why people lean towards them, would be quite important to Scroll’s growth. The information from this research will be helpful to a lot of considerations the DAO will make.

Rationale for Scroll DAO Constitution vote

Proposal: Scroll DAO Constitution

Revised version Is in the comments Overview This post is meant to present the first version of the Scroll DAO Constitution to the community and delegates. The hope was to have this ready in time for a February 1st vote, though given the timing we recognize that might not be enough time for feedback. This constitution, as stated below, is meant to be a living document that will evolve alongside the evolution of the DAO, Foundation, and ecosystem as a whole. Scroll DAO Constitution This constit…

I am voting FOR, for this proposal. The constitution captures that the DAO is being structured in a way, that we move towards full decentralisation over time, ensuring a gradual and stable transition.

The Security Council is required to publicly report emergency actions, adding a layer of accountability. Clear delineation between Scroll Foundation, Governance Facilitators, Security Council, and SCR holders ensures checks and balances.

I do have worries that the Scroll Foundation’s influence at this early stage would mean that full decentralization is still a long-term goal.

Overall, this governance framework is a strong foundation for ScrollDAO’s progressive decentralization, but ongoing adjustments will be necessary to ensure that power is effectively distributed among the community over time.

Rationale for Euclid Upgrade on Scroll Vote

Proposal: Euclid Upgrade on Scroll

Introduction The purpose of this draft proposal is to inform the Scroll DAO of a proposed protocol upgrade, and to allow projects, users, and devs to prepare in advance. There will be a call on Mar 12 to discuss this, which you can find in the governance calendar. Executive Summary I am Peter, a Protocol Engineer at Up Labs. We work with the Scroll Foundation to implement upgrades to the Scroll protocol. We propose the Euclid upgrade to be considered for inclusion and execution during the Apri…

I am voting FOR, for this proposal. The Euclid Upgrade proposal represents a comprehensive approach to overcoming current performance and security limitations while paving the way for new features and enhanced user experiences. The two-phased rollout, combined with robust security measures and detailed operational plans, makes it a strategically sound initiative for maintaining and advancing Scroll’s competitive edge in the evolving Web3 landscape.

Rationale for ScrollDAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal

Proposal: Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal

Proposal Title ScrollDAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal [image] Proposal Type Governance Proposal Authors: @Nneoma_StableLab and @Kene_StableLab Simple Summary This proposal requests $90,000 + 100,000 SCR for a DAO-funded Delegate Accelerator (D/Acc) program that will develop a competent and diverse set of delegates capable of actively governing the Scroll DAO. Motivation The Scroll DAO currently has a votable supply of 6,329,000 SCR, compared to the total supply of SCR and the total number…

I am voting FOR, for this proposal.

In its current state, Scroll DAO is still in the early innings of its governance evolution. A robust, decentralized system can’t thrive on passive voting and surface-level engagement, it requires intentional cultivation of capable, diverse, and well-informed delegates. This Delegate Accelerator (D/Acc) proposal addresses that need directly.

I support the clear structure, competency-based curriculum, and the balance between theory, practical application, and incentives. The combination of assessments, live sessions, and hands-on governance work shows an understanding of what it takes to build legitimacy and resilience into DAO participation.

I’m especially aligned with the longer-term implications: increasing active votable supply, distributing governance knowledge, and avoiding over-consolidation of power. Delegates aren’t just voters, they’re contributors to the DAO’s trajectory. If we want Scroll DAO to be sustainable and inclusive over time, this kind of infrastructure investment is necessary.

Looking forward to seeing how this pilot performs and how the learnings will shape future iterations.
