Proposal: Mexico Local Node

GM Scroll fam! :nerd_face:

Really stoked to read this proposal. Big respect to the team behind it :heart_hands:
This feels like the kind of initiative that could actually change the game if done with care and patience.

Wanted to drop a few thoughts from my perspective, as someone working in org design and coordination, and currently applying to join the node as a founder (yep, I already filled out the form and had the convo with @HumbertoBesso).

On identifying founders & builders

Spotting real potential is about reading context, motivations, and depth of commitment. That kind of filtering requires a human approach. I really think we need to bet more on people who are obsessed with the problem they’re solving, not just the tech they’re using.

On local+vertical specialization

There’s plenty of talent in Mexico to justify a vertically-specialized + locally-rooted cohort.
And doing it local creates bonds between founders, between mentors, between projects. That’s what makes an ecosystem feel alive. Global mentors are great, but only as a second layer. Local-first builds culture and long-term resilience.

On hackathon winners vs founders

Hackathon winners = great talent, fast execution, short feedback loops. But often motivated by exposure or prizes. Founders = long-term obsession, higher emotional investment, deeper resilience. That is way more skin in the game. If we’re talking long-term bets, my chips are on the founders.

On the 1-year Scroll commitment

IMO, that’s not a red flag; that’s raising the bar for both .
It filters for founders who are serious about building with Scroll, not just on Scroll. People who resonate with the mission and are down to commit. But it also demands that Scroll do its part.

No-equity is already huge win, as long as Scroll brings real support, visibility, and follow-through.
In other words, it’s not about locking people in, it’s about building mutual commitment.

In the age of situationships, offering real commitment can be a differentiator with other protocols.
In my case, I’m a little tired of taking the merch-photo for the hackathon (when there’s no real connection behind it nor interest in developing it).

Super excited about where this can go.
Thanks for opening the door.

Thank you for this thoughtful first-stage proposal. We would like to point out that the budget of $36,00 exceeds the $30,000 max budget that is provided in the Local Nodes Framework. We understand that this budget may be justified, which is why as a verified delegate, we feel comfortable endorsing this proposal.

Hello @HumbertoBesso,

Scroll Foundation considers this proposal ready for vote.

Observations to consider for the execution of the Local Node:

  • Our team would like to assist in the refinement of the educational content.
  • We will be supporting in the setup of operational tracking tools.
  • Social media amplification will be done through Scroll official channels.
  • We encourage the Local Node to participate on all Community activations lead by Scroll, engage with social media, and partake in initiatives through various community channels.

This is the actual proposal, the first one of this forum thread is about Mexico as a good place to launch.

25

Thank you @404Gov for the support!!

We modified the proposal to $30K for 3 months as it was suggested by other comments. The proposal went through refinement thanks to comments and discussions. You can check the final one here

Hi @HumbertoBesso,

Thank you and your team for putting together this thoughtful and detailed proposal for a Mexico Local Node. It’s encouraging to see such proactive community initiative.

The proposal is comprehensive, and I’m particularly enthusiastic about the “mobile local node” concept for broader outreach.

The main point that gives me pause is the “build exclusively on Scroll for at least one year” clause. While I understand the intent to foster deep engagement with the Scroll ecosystem, it does bring up practical considerations:

  • Enforcement & Monitoring: How would this exclusivity be practically monitored and enforced without becoming overly burdensome?
  • Ethos Alignment: In a Web3 space that often champions interoperability and open-source contributions, how does long-term, mandated exclusivity fit?
  • Flexibility for Founders: What if a project organically discovers strong synergies with another (perhaps complementary) ecosystem, especially if their codebase is open source?

I see this as a “yellow flag” – an aspect to observe and learn from – rather than a deal-breaker for this initial pilot. The relatively short 3-month experimental period makes it a lower-risk way to test this model.

Ultimately, the success of this Local Node will hinge on the tangible value it delivers to founders and, by extension, to the Scroll ecosystem. If the support, mentorship, and access provided are truly exceptional, the exclusivity aspect may naturally become less of a concern for participants.

As a verified delegate, I am happy to support this proposal. Mexico is indeed a vibrant and rapidly growing Web3 market, as your proposal clearly outlines, with significant potential for Scroll. I also commend the proactive approach of establishing a presence where the community is actively seeking engagement, even if it wasn’t on the immediate roadmap. This responsiveness is key.

Perhaps the learnings from this pilot, including feedback and outcomes related to the exclusivity clause, can provide valuable insights for Scroll’s broader Local Node strategy moving forward.

Wishing you and the entire Mexico Local Node team the best of luck with this!

I thank the team for this proposal, unfortunately I feel I need to vote AGAINST as the concerns raised here have not been addressed

The program is trying to do too much and is hence spread too thin. The team lacks a seasoned person to manage the builder support program and with a budget of only $1,250/month I doubt any quality can be achieved.

I have often suggested there is significant risk with doing local programs that lack quality, instead of local nodes focusing on engagement and letting an online digital program focus on quality founder support.

I would be happy to support a more focused proposal.

28

As a verified delegate , we are voting AGAINST the proposal.

The Local Node model may introduce significant and recurring costs to Scroll without delivering tangible benefits to the network or the DAO. While it could increase the number of individuals engaging with the ecosystem, this does not necessarily translate into active users, applications, transaction volume, or revenue generation for the DAO.

Similar models, implemented under different names by other organizations, have historically failed to demonstrate clear, measurable results for the projects that funded them.

29

We, the Unicircle work group, believe this proposal is in the best interest of the protocol. It is indeed paramount to increase the number of local nodes across the globe and thus we are voting FOR this proposal.

I voted FOR.

The team seems solid and well poised to execute. The curriculum looks like it’ll do a decent job of educating and onboarding new users. Eager to see metrics post program to see the effectiveness of this approach.

The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of kaereste, @Sinkas, and @Manugotsuka, and it’s based on their combined research, fact-checking, and ideation.

We are voting FOR the proposal.

A mobile “Scroll bus” that pairs local workshops with an online builder track is a creative and cost-conscious way to meet Mexico’s fast-growing Web3 scene, where it already gathers at universities, fintech hubs, and regional hackathons. The draft demonstrates real legwork, including identified partners, a clear 3-month route (CDMX → Puebla), and a curriculum designed to drive graduates toward Scroll Grants.

Our only request is clarity on how success will be measured. A short metrics table (events held, applicants, teams accepted, and grant applications submitted/approved) and a public mid-tour update enable delegates to track progress and help the node secure follow-on support.

As mentioned in the other local nodes proposals, we think these proposals shouldn’t 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.

Another one on regional efforts that can meaningfully drive grassroots adoption. The focus on developer education, community-building, and bridging Web2 talent into Web3 is particularly aligned with what I’ve seen work well in other ecosystems.

Strong support from me—excited to follow how this unfolds and what insights emerge that might be applied to future nodes.

Thank you all who participated in this proposal. We value from the bottom of our hearts the input that you gave us. We’ve been busy thinking through it, having calls and chats with delegates and founders, as well as from @Juansito.

We’ve updated the proposal with your inputs, the feedback received, and with the Foundation’s KPI package

A summary of the updates are the following:

  1. Calendar has been updated. We’ve set that our activities have begun today and will end on Sept 20th.
  2. Team members have been updated. Below you’ll find a summary of our hiring process.
  3. Budget has been updated to SCR. Also, it was redistributed following a detailed review of what would make more impact and also based on comments we received from delegates.
  4. KPIs have been updated and fused with the Foundations KPI package.

Additionally, today the KYC process was filled.

Below you’ll find the overview of the hiring process regarding the Builder Program Manager and the Social Media Manager, as well as some final comments.

Overview of the Hiring Process for the Builder Program Manager

  1. We initiated the search by reaching out to our tech-focused WhatsApp groups, announcing the opening for a specialist in startup incubation and acceleration. Interested candidates were asked to submit their CV and a letter of motivation.
  2. In parallel, we extended the search to two academic institutions to attract qualified profiles from their respective networks.
  3. From the initial outreach, we received three applications. Each candidate was asked to submit a brief case study outlining how they would approach the role. We proceeded to interview two of them.
  4. Subsequently, we published the opportunity on our social media channels, the one linked had 1,079 views. From these we got contacted by three individuals. One of them proceeded to apply formally.
  5. The applicant submitted a well-developed case and was invited for an interview. After careful evaluation, both @Dorian and I concluded that her profile aligned perfectly with the needs of the program and we chose her.

We are pleased to introduce @Aleinweb3 as part of the team. Her CV is found here.

Overview of the hiring process for the Social Media Manager

Brenda Magaña has been a volunteer for years in many projects I’ve led since college. She has gained professional experience in many areas including marketing, social media management, impact evaluation, and project management. Her CV is reachable here.

Her fresh perspective outside the crypto sphere alongside with the guidance of the rest of the team (crypto bros and sisters) will give us the advantage of producing content that reaches both crypto people and not-yet onboarded talent.

Final comments

Thank you again to everyone and specially to those trusting us your vote and the DAO’s funds to deliver a unique experience to grow the Scroll ecosystem and positively impact Mexico.

We will post updates soon here at the forum, at calls, and on our social media channels:

:date: Monthly Report — Mexico Mobile Scroll Node (June / 2025)

Deliverables:

  1. Open Economy funneling:

    1. Created a form to register talent into two roads: Entrepreneus and Builders. We got 27 registrations so far. These 27 will be registered tomorrow (Tuesday July 8th) and from these we will select the teams that will take the Builder Program to support them into getting at least one project accepted at Campus.
    2. Created a Notion site where we offer info about Scroll, the Mx team, the opportunities, our reports, and other key things to keep track of (in Spanish). It is still WIP.
    3. Created a CRM of talent to onboard people into Scroll’s Open Economy (available internally and to @Juansito). Here we have 65 registrations.

  2. 1st Public-facing event: Web3 for Web2 Founder online meet. Posted here (364 views), here (342 views), here (90 views), and here (431 views). Got 55 registrations (name and email), from these 20 people attended our first meet.

  3. 2nd Public-facing event: First Founder virtual meetup (open for all). Posted here (344 views), and here (241 views). 18 people registered and 13 attended..

  4. Alliances with local communities:

    1. Partnered with Unlock Summit to give 3 scholarships for attending their event (July 31st-August 2nd) as a way to bring more high quality talent registrations. We will be present at Unlock with the Urbanika bus themed with Scroll. We will park at the public square where activities to onboard people into Scroll’s Open Economy will be held.
    2. Partnered with Ethereum MĂ©xico for their “Road to Ethereum Mexico 2025” (July 25th). 50 high quality builders are expected to attend. There we will run onboarding sessions to Scroll (Open Economy, our Builder program, and other activities). Also, we plan to run a Mexican communtiy session where we can identify the needs and offers of all communities and with these find a way to optimize results and collaborations a la Mycellial intelligence.
    3. Created a list of comunities for maping. We contacted 8 communities to weave synergies for sharing the Scroll Mx Builders’ program. We are actively mapping and contacting both web2 (universities and entrepreneurship hubs) and web3 communities.

Governance participation

@HumbertoBesso, as leader of the Mx local node, has voted in all open votes within Scroll and participated with the following stats (on date July 6th, 2025).

Obstacles and workaround

The Open Economy registration form changed. At first, it was only asking emails. Now it asks other questions regarding project details such as describing the project the builder has, links to the project, socials of the builder, and some matchmaking questions for providing team support. We didn’t have those in mind, so the 55 contacts we got at the beginning have been reached with these questions too. Only a few have answered with these and we will proceed to register them to the Open Economy form.

Our next events already hold these questions at the registration form so we can properly onboard builders.

Regarding the Open Economy funnel, we based our comms on the previous Open Scroll experience, however, the current Open Zero had a different strategy and we had to adjust. Builders were receptive and things are going smoothly.

Conclusion

On this month we focused on setting the foundations for the Local Node. Even so, we got 65 registrations of people interested in the program. We will follow up with them to accompany their Open Economy path at the level they are at.

From the 65 registrations we got 27 that applied to be part of Builder Program. These 27 people will be registered to the Open Economy data base. Also, from these 27 registrations we will select a cohort that has the most potential to get accepted to Open Campus and we will provide them with direct mentorships and other activities that will support them as founders.

We will update this post in the next few days with the number of builders accepted. Then in August we will issue another report with all July’s activities.

Thank you for reading us, we are available here at the forum, at the Governance calls, and at the dedicated Local Node calls.

The mentors come from different business areas (legal, financial, accounting, Open Campus winners, UI/UX). Additionally, during Unlock Summit, other mentors were contacted and onboarded too.

Community alliances: Unlock Summit, Happ3n, CryptoPuebla, CriptoUNAM, and HER DAO MĂ©xico to promote the registration of their talent into Open Economy and to cross-promote Local Node work.

Flash Acceleration Program Design

A comprehensive 6-week Acceleration Program was designed during July.

Key inputs included:

  • Founders’ feedback via survey forms

  • 1:1 conversations with the ChatterPay team to identify common friction points and opportunities

  • Mapping of verticals aligned with founders’ current stage and regional context

Link to Program Design Document

Project Tracking – Internal CRM Development

As part of our internal coordination efforts, we have started designing a CRM to monitor and track the status of participating projects. This tool will allow us to centralize key information such as project descriptions, the vertical each team is building in, team member details, and progress on weekly deliverables. To populate the database, we created a dedicated data collection form, which will serve as the main input channel for project information. [Insert form link here]

Outreach to Local Institutions & Hubs

Initiated contact with several entrepreneurship hubs and academic institutions in Puebla and Mexico City to promote the Acceleration Program and drive sign-ups.

Due to the summer break, response rates were limited, but consistent follow-up continues.

Link to Database

We initiated contact with the Secretary of Innovation of the State of Puebla to explore potential synergies as part of the Startup Puebla program. As a first step, we completed the official registration form to be listed as strategic partners Filled forms here. While we’ve expressed our interest in scheduling a meeting, it has not yet been confirmed due to limited availability in his agenda. Our aim is to secure this meeting before the Urbanika team travels to Puebla, in order to define potential joint activities and strengthen local engagement efforts in advance.

Social media

Obstacles and workaround

ChatterPay bot was very slow to answer (about 2 min) and we found some bugs regarding registering. We reported them all to Martin so he could use the feedback to improve ChatterPay.

The down-side: During Unlock we were outside of the event, which was great to have lots of new people that got to know about Scroll. However, most of them had no knowledge about web3 neither so much interest, therefore the low convertion rate.

The upside: The participants of Unlock Summit were most of them web2 people interested in learning more about web3 and tolds us that they didn’t see much opportunities to learn about web3, so we will gather with Karla next week to send an email with the Local Node offer (Acceleration program, City visiting route, and events such as DeFi Mx and Ethereum Mx).

During these two months we’ve been exploring the opportunities the local communities are offering, and we’ve been talking to them so to find the ways forward for win-wins.

Conclusion

Thank you for reading us, we are available here at the forum, at the Governance calls, and at the dedicated Local Node calls.

We voted for.
We see Mexico as a strategic hub in Latin America’s Web3 ecosystem. The country has a vibrant crypto community, ranked 13th globally in adoption, and strong delegates already engaged in Scroll governance. Establishing a Local Node there will amplify opportunities for builders and developers while strengthening Scroll’s presence in the region.

  • EtherFi (what it is, benefits, adoption metrics by the Local Node, Winner of the Onboarding game, etc),

  • Projects that were incubated by the local node,

  • One-day virtual bootcamp winner and overall experience,

4.3 Rally and Pop-up market activation. Within Ethereum MĂ©xico’s Monterrey edition we will host a rally that will take people by the hand on the onboarding process to open an EtherFi Cash account, top it up, spend, and stake. We will also bring local merchants to sell their products exclusively using EtherFi. Additionally, we will showcase the projects that participated in our Season 1 and the main dApps within the Scroll ecosystem (USX, ​EtherFi Cash, Honeypop, Chatterpay, SynthOS, Polystream)
The rally will be an epic activity full of learnings, rewards, and fun :slight_smile: where we will also test one of our cohort’s solution!!

This is all for now

We are heads down preparing everything for Ethereum Mx at Monterrey. And while our focus is not at this time on entrepreneurs, it is to be noted that we continue supporting those that contact us for feedback, and we contact them with opportunities we find suitable to them.

We have a list of many founders that are interested in building with us at Scroll. We hope to continue supporting them in next seasons. For now, the Mexican Local Node will continue supporting the growth of Scroll.
