Hello everyone, I’m LifeofDan-EL (Daniel Anomfueme), a Technical Project Manager with a Computer Science background. Over the past four years, I’ve specialized in bridging technology and community development across diverse sectors. I have been a contributor at [VitaDAO](https://vitadao.com) 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](https://desciafrica.xyz), 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.

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](https://x.com/lifeofdanel) and on [Telegram](https://t.me/LifeofDan_EL). ---

Rationale for the first proposal from the DAO. > [@Proposal: Research to inform a builder support strategy](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-research-to-inform-a-builder-support-strategy/368): > > 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](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-scroll-dao-constitution/448): > > Revised version Is in [the comments](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-scroll-dao-constitution/448/40)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. ---

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](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-scroll-dao-delegate-accelerator-proposal/571): > > Proposal Title ScrollDAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal Proposal Type Governance Proposal Authors: @Nneoma_StableLab and @Kene_StableLabSimple 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. ---

The discussion related to this proposal took place in [this post](https://forum.scroll.io/t/governance-contribution-recognition/673/).

Generally, the idea of a bit of incentive for delegates is a welcome initiative. I’ve followed through the iterations of this proposal, and I do say it has had a good number of valuable feedback from delegates, through the forum posts and governance calls. The idea of the working group fleshing out what the next proposal should look like also sounds great. I think the ones who will be working on that, should do well to keep the community in the loop, which I believe would be the case.

> [@Proposal: Votable Supply Adjustment](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-votable-supply-adjustment/628): > > Proposal Title: Votable Supply Adjustment Proposal Type: Governance TLDR This proposal suggests a temporary delegation of 1.5m SCR from the Scroll DAO treasury to 46 active delegates to boost votable supply and reduce quorum risk. The delegation, managed via a Foundation multisig, would run until October 2025. Delegates who become inactive may have their tokens reallocated. The goal is to ensure proposals can pass even if top delegates are unavailable. Summary This proposal is meant to provide … I am voting FOR, for this proposal. The goal here isn’t to artificially flatten existing delegate power, but to ensure quorum resilience and broader engagement. Keeping it straightforward will also make the program easier to execute and track transparently. If this passes, the program must have a public post-mortem in October with clear data to justify the conclusion or extension. ---

This initiative will be led by Modular Crypto, a recognized Scroll delegate and currently the most active community contributor in the country. Our main objective with this Local Node proposal is to attract… I am voting FOR, for this proposal. It looks well thought out and also detailed. Generally, the idea of Local Nodes is something I support, especially in regions with an active web3 curious base. I do hope a Scroll pipeline is created through this. ---

The EGC’s goal will be approve, oversee, and evaluate growth programs that can help the success and sustainability of the Scroll ecosystem. The EGC will oversee a budget of 2m SCR from the DAO to allocate … I am voting FOR, for this proposal. We’ve seen how hard it is to turn good ideas into executable programs. This council can bridge that gap and give us a better shot at actually deploying resources to the builders and contributors who are aligned with Scroll’s mission. I also appreciate that success isn’t being measured purely by spend or hype, but by whether the council actually gets off the ground, runs transparently, and delivers at least one credible growth initiative. Let’s use this as a pilot, stay close to the process, and build on the learnings. The groundwork laid here can become a template for how Scroll approaches ecosystem support going forward. ---

The program aims to launch 5–10 Scroll-powered projects by integrating African builders, … I am voting FOR, for this proposal. I support this because it’s not starting from zero. Web3Clubs has clear infrastructure, boots on the ground, and an existing community of builders across East Africa. Also, at $30k, the ask is extremely reasonable for the scope. They’ve mapped every dollar to a specific activity, team member, or tool. However, while I appreciate the ambition around TradFi and regulatory engagement, some of those outcomes feel ambitious for a 3-month pilot. Overall, the team is credible, the cost is justifiable, and Kenya is too strategic a region to sleep on.

Proposal Title: Security Subsidy Program for Scroll Builders Proposal Type: Growth Summary: T… I am voting **FOR** , for this proposal. I do think audits are a good incentive to attract long-term builders and also a way to make sure funds are safe with projects building on Scroll. This tackles a real bottleneck as most teams treat an audit like a finish line, but the risk actually spikes after launch. I also like that subsidies are structured as investments, not one-off grants. If a team scales, the DAO captures a sliver of upside, which is a good aligned incentive. The rating rubric + eligibility checks reduce subsidy farming, and the Foundation/EGC/Labs oversight gives operational clarity. That is a good structure for it. ---

I’m in support because this formalizes a piece of work that’s already too big for ad-hoc handling: Local Node evaluation, ongoing oversight, and community grants. A council with clear remit, public reporting, and a 6-month term gives us: - Throughput + accountability for Local Node proposals and monthly reviews. - A lightweight grants lane so we can actually show up at strategic events without dragging every $3–5k ask through a full DAO vote. - A feedback loop to iterate the Local Nodes framework instead of letting it ossify. The budget is ring-fenced, timelines are defined, and unused funds return. This is the right scaffolding to scale community without burning out the core team. ---

Good governance drives growth and resource allocation, while poor governance leads to ecosystem collapse despite large treasuries. Currently, DAO governance suffers from two critical challenges: Misaligned incentives: DAOs suffer from voter apathy and farming of incentives (GPT delegates). Current manual approaches to rewarding delegates to do better work are biased and conflict-prone. Collective decision making is hard: DAOs suffer from hap… I am voting **FOR** , for this proposal. I’m in support because this squarely targets two problems we actually feel: delegate incentive misalignment and low-signal decision making. Carroll Mechanisms are a credible step beyond “vote on pre-baked options” or “just futarchy it,” and the plan is stage-gated (M1 → M2/M3 only if feasibility holds). A few reasons this makes sense: - **High-leverage R&D for Scroll’s brand:** if we want to be the L2 where DAOs thrive, leading on governance mechanism design is on-strategy. - **Aligned funding structure:** SAFE + token warrant at a friendly cap ties upside to success vs. a pure grant. - **Clear deliverables:** formal feasibility in M1, parameterization in M2, and product integration (Negation Game) in M3. - **Risk-aware:** we’re not committing to production governance changes now, this is research + prototyping with adoption contingent on results. For the cost ($145k), the optionality is attractive. Worst case, we get publishable research, open simulations, and better tooling intuition. Best case, we pilot a mechanism that measurably improves proposal quality and fair, objective delegate rewards. ---

This is an important part before putting more of the DAO budget into the timelock and minimizing the reliance on manual execution of the transaction… I am voting **FOR** , for this proposal. It’s a low-risk, zero-cost sanity check that unblocks moving financial ops from manual execution to the Governor→Timelock flow. - Operational readiness: Verifies queue → delay → execute works end-to-end. - Safety first: Uses 1 SCR, minimal blast radius, to prove wiring before larger transfers. - Decentralization win: Reduces reliance on manual execution; improves auditability and predictability. - Clear success criteria: Pre/post treasury balance + tx hashes confirm the round-trip. > [@Proposal: Governance Contribution Recognition (Cycle 2: May - December 2025)](https://forum.scroll.io/t/proposal-governance-contribution-recognition-cycle-2-may-december-2025/1085): > > Proposal Title Governance Contribution Recognition (Cycle 2: May - December 2025) Proposal Type Governance Proposal Authors: @Bitblondy, @Seiryuu, @kevinknielsen & Alex Sampson (Proxy) Summary Continuation of Delegate Incentives: This proposal launches the second iteration of the Governance Contribution Recognition (GCR) program to reward Scroll DAO delegates for their contributions from May 1st through December 31st, 2025. The 8 months will be split in two parts, with one retroactive period … I am voting **FOR** , for this proposal. We should keep rewarding real governance work and maintain momentum after Cycle 1. This iteration tightens incentives (tiered, performance-based), balances on-chain participation with forum rationale, and keeps costs reasonable (580k SCR across 8 months). - Continuity + retention: Keeps active delegates engaged and raises the bar on quality vs. drive-by voting. - Clear, tiered scoring: Voting participation, public rationales, and forum contributions weighted transparently; minimum 60% cutoff is sensible. - Pragmatic ops: Payout split (retro + forward) lets new delegates get recognized, with SCR-denominated rewards. Expectation for next cycle (not blocking this one): explore a light VP-aware modifier (e.g., capped/sqrt bands) to better reflect quorum impact; publish a public scoring dashboard + short appeals window; drop call-attendance points until tracking is reliable. > [@Request for Proposals: DAO Treasury Management](https://forum.scroll.io/t/request-for-proposals-dao-treasury-management/1047): > > The governance team invites qualified service providers to submit proposals to support the DAO in developing a robust treasury management strategy for the [DAO treasury](https://scrollscan.com/address/0x4cb06982dD097633426cf32038D9f1182a9aDA0c).

We propose the Galileo upgrade for consideration an… I voted **FOR** , for this proposal. I am in support, as upgrades like this are essential to Scroll as they keep the tech running and make it more efficient. It is also a good plan to be in sync with the Fusaka upgrade. ---

I fully support this proposal as it marks a necessary transition from “Governance Theater” to high-performance execution. By establishing dedicated Operations and Accountability Committees, we are finally solving the “diffusion of responsibility” that plagues most DAOs, where everyone votes but no one is accountable for shipping. The move to a strict $1.52m budget and a “minimum viable bureaucracy” demonstrates fiscal maturity, ensuring that our treasury is directed toward measurable outcomes rather than vague initiatives. Furthermore, integrating Staked SCR as the foundation of governance is the critical alignment mechanism we have been missing. It ensures that those steering the ship have real “skin in the game,” filtering out noise and prioritizing long-term token performance. While the structure is more centralized in the short term, this “operational prototype” is exactly what Scroll needs to aggressively compete on liquidity and user adoption in 2026. We cannot decentralize chaos; we must organize first.
