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.

Hey everyone,
I appreciate being involved early in shaping/providing feedback for this proposal—it’s been great to see the effort to gather feedback and keep the process transparent. The plan is solid, with a clear structure and fair budget to develop a builder support strategy. This kind of research can be key for improving how we support the ecosystem, and I’m fully in favor of moving it forward.
Looking forward to the outcomes!

We vote in favor of this proposal
At Ethereum Argentina, we align with the vision of implementing a strategic plan for the DAO based on data and prior research.
We believe this is essential and should serve as the starting point for analysis. In the development of the product that Scroll is today, both the Labs and the Foundation must have conducted research to analyze the users and market, which led to Scroll’s current technological and product configuration. This coordination is vital to avoid producing redundant insights that duplicate existing knowledge.
On the other hand, we would like the segmentation of builders targeted by this research to emphasize geographical diversity. The needs of builders in LATAM differ from those in other parts of the world. We would like the final report to reflect interviews with builders from a wide range of backgrounds.

The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste and @Sinkas, and it’s based on the combined research, fact-checking, and ideation of the two.
We are voting FOR the proposal.
Initially, we were skeptical of the usefulness of the proposed research in terms of actions to be taken based on its outcomes. In our mind, doing research without having a plan to leverage the research in pursuit of a specific outcome is pointless. However, after speaking with Eugene from the Scroll Foundation, we were assured that the research will be used as the basis for future initiatives.
We’ll be following the research and expect to see frequent updates on its progress. Furthermore, we expect the Foundation to report frequently on the actions taken (and, later, their results) based on the research deliverables.

Update on progress 23 Feb 2025
Unfortunately, we’re still waiting on the funds for the kick-off payment of this initiative. This has been due in part because of delays in preparing the contract for us and delays in executing the first payment. Given that this is the first initiative for the DAO, we understand these delays can happen and a lot of work is needed by the Scroll Foundation to setup these processes.
We also experienced delays as we renegotiated the currency of payment with the foundation given that price volatility could have further caused delays on this initiative. We appreciate the responsiveness and diligence of the foundation in making pragmatic decisions in the best interest of the DAO to navigate the challenges of crypto volatility.
The RnDAO team has taken a risk at our discretion to start working on this initiative this past week even though we haven’t received the kick-off payment. We’re doing this to show goodwill to the DAO and Scroll ecosystem and on the best interest of advancing this key initiative.

Hello! Any new updates?
Hello, Milestones 1 and 2 have been completed and we’re working our way through M3.
We’re hoping to have the first deliverable ready to present towards the end of the month.
We’ve also coordinated with the Foundation gov team to give a presentation next week during the regular calls

Great, looking forward to reading that first deliverable. Congratulations on the effort put at the moment.
Maybe during Eth Cinco de Mayo’s event could be a nice place to give a summary of your delivery. I’ll be interviewing people to have a greater understanding of the Mexican Scroll perspective. We could gather to promote it.
