Thoughts on Voting for @danielo’s Proposal:
I’ve been considering Daniel’s proposal for “Research to inform a builder support strategy” deeply, and I’m leaning towards voting in favor. Here’s why:
-
Comprehensive Approach: The proposal not only aims to understand why builders choose certain ecosystems but also identifies current support gaps, which is crucial for Scroll to attract and retain talent.
-
Ecosystem Learning: It opens the door for us to learn from other ecosystems’ successes and failures, allowing Scroll to craft a more effective strategy.
-
Community Engagement: The inclusion of workshops and community input in the process ensures that the strategy will reflect our collective vision. This co-creation aspect is vital for Scroll’s decentralized ethos.
-
Future-Oriented: This initiative sets a precedent for ongoing research, which is essential for Scroll’s long-term growth and adaptation in the fast-evolving Web3 space.
Ecosystems to Explore:
For this research, I recommend focusing on:
-
Solana: I’ve been part of the Solana community since before the NFT boom, and their approach to low-cost, high-speed transactions is something Scroll could learn from. Their community culture and developer support are also noteworthy.
-
Base: Their success in attracting developers and DAOs to migrate is impressive. Understanding their strategies could provide us with insights into how to make Scroll an attractive home for builders.
-
Arbitrum: Their business model with Layer 3 and how they distribute grants could inform our support mechanisms. Their governance model is also something to consider for enhancing our own.
-
Starknet: Their focus on simplifying the user experience for new entrants into the blockchain space is a lesson in accessibility. We could benefit from making Scroll more user-friendly from the get-go.
While all these ecosystems have unique strengths, learning from them could sharpen Scroll’s competitive edge, especially in developer support, user onboarding, and ecosystem growth.
Conclusion:
I believe this proposal could significantly benefit Scroll by providing data-driven insights into how we can best support our builders. By understanding the dynamics of these ecosystems, we can tailor our strategies to not just compete but lead in the L2 space. I encourage everyone to review this proposal in detail and join the discussion. Let’s use this as a stepping stone to make Scroll the most builder-friendly and community-centric ecosystem.
Feel free to ask questions or share your thoughts on this matter. I’m eager to hear the community’s perspective!
