Thank you for your contribution on the Kenya Scroll Local Node founder proposal. Concerns have been noted. As local ecosystem players over the past few years. We have seen a growing demand for founder support. There are many brilliant projects at different stages that are on our radar and more yet to be discovered. We are confident in the capacity of our ecosystem to bring value to Scroll ecosystem in the areas that you have touched on. We are grateful for the opportunity to demonstrate what is capable through this initiative.
Looking forward to learning and giving value back.
We are looking to execute a very active hands on approach in the delivery of this program, Our core team and mentors will be deeply involved in building and supporting projects. We are heavily vested in the projects that will emanate from a Kenya Scroll Local Node.
The following reflects the views of L2BEATâs governance team, composed of kaereste, @Sinkas, and @Manugotsuka, and itâs based on their combined research, fact-checking, and ideation.
We are voting FOR the proposal.
As far as we can tell, Web3Clubs already operates a functioning Nairobi lab and has a credible network across East Africa. Pairing that infrastructure with their three-month plan that involves the âMsingi â Daraja â Vukaâ pipeline is a sensible way to turn local talent into 5â10 Scroll-based MVPs. The budget items, such as staff stipends, ten boot camps, a demo day, and modest builder bounties, feel proportionate, especially given the programâs focus on integrating African builders, financial institutions, and regulators into the Scroll ecosystem.
As mentioned in the other local nodes proposals, we think these proposals shouldnât have to go through a DAO-wide vote, and would instead be much more efficient if we assigned an individual or group to review them, with the DAO having a veto window.
Love the articulation of challenges (especially around infrastructure and education) paired with actionable steps makes this a compelling case for support.
From the perspective of DAO and protocol growth, these local node programs feel like essential groundworkânot just for adoption but for decentralizing influence and shaping governance with regional perspectives.
Pagoda voted FOR this proposal and is excited to see it move forward! The focus phases in the local context (Msingi, Daraja, and Vuka) were a great foundation. I am excited to see many workshops coming up!
I do have a question if these will be documented and shared as open knowledge for local people, or if there will be a write-up of the summary and lessons learned in English to bridge the local and global community.
@Pagoda Thank you very much for the vote, it has a gone a long way to helping us get started on this journey. Indeed we are looking forward to sharing our experience on executing our program for the benefit of existing local nodes, local nodes to come and the scroll ecosystem at large. We will get back at the community on how to access this infromation.
