The following reflects the views of L2BEAT’s governance team, composed of @kaereste and @Sinkas. It’s based on their combined research, fact-checking, and ideation.
We’re voting FOR the proposal.
We appreciate Eugene’s work in drafting Scroll DAO’s Constitution and addressing all the essential parts covered by such a document. We understand that the Constitution’s foundational idea is to be a living document that will be updated in the future to account for potential changes or the progressive decentralization of the DAO.
With that in mind, we see the proposed Constitution more like a social agreement and an operational document rather than a binding thing. The way we understand things right now, governance doesn’t have factual control over either the Foundation or smart contracts, so it doesn’t make sense to expect the Constitution to bind delegates and other stakeholders materially.
However, we feel that it is a good starting point for the formation of community governance structures as an advisory body and growth support mechanism for the Scroll ecosystem. We hope that in further steps of progressive decentralisation, the governance will be able to take more direct, hands-on control over various aspects of the ecosystem.
