Proposal: Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal

[Nneoma_StableLab]

GM Scroll community,

Thank you again for the thoughtful and constructive feedback throughout this thread. It’s been encouraging to see such engaged discussion around DAO priorities and resource allocation.

Following several follow-up calls, we’ve worked collaboratively to clarify how the proposed funds will be allocated. In revising the budget, we carefully considered all input shared here — balancing fair compensation with market rates for curriculum design and facilitation, while accounting for the specialized nature of this program.

Please see the updated Financial section for a detailed breakdown of how the budget will be distributed across the program components:

Trainee Incentives – $15,000

We anticipate that up to 20 participants will complete the program. Rewards will be distributed based on performance and engagement, with detailed assessment methodologies outlined in a follow-up proposal. This budget also includes incentive multipliers to recognize exceptional performance among trainees.

• Trainee Rewards Pool: $10,000
• Additional Rewards for Outstanding Participants: $5,000
• Total Trainee Incentives: $15,000

Curriculum Development & Facilitation – $57,000

Executing this program requires a coordinated effort in curriculum development and facilitation over a 7-week period.

Module Development – $27,000

Six core modules will be developed by nine contributors, with one additional module created by the Scroll Foundation. Each contributor-developed module is budgeted at $4,500–$5,000, based on the following:

• Estimated time per module: ~15 hours
  • Breakdown: (0.5–1 hour per session × 7 sessions) + ~5 hours prep/review
• Contributor rate assumptions:
  • $150/hr for two collaborators: 15 hrs × $150 × 2 = $4,500
  • $200/hr for one contributor: 15 hrs × $200 = $3,000

Costs may vary depending on module complexity, but the total for six modules will not exceed $27,000.

Facilitation – $29,000

Facilitators are responsible for the end-to-end delivery of the training program over an 8-10 week sprint period. Their duties include:

• Designing and managing the application process (~20 hours)
• Hosting live sessions (~15 hours)
• Conducting assessments and reviewing deliverables (~20 hours)
• Creating and maintaining the Notion Hub (~10 hours)
• Post-program evaluation and reporting (~10–15 hours)

Tooling & Administrative Costs – $1,000

Covers essential tools and administrative needs such as workspace software, access management, and collaboration platforms.

Delegation Pool – 100,000 SCR

A pool of 100,000 SCR will be delegated via a multi-sig managed by the Foundation. This non-monetary budget (i.e., delegated voting power, not liquid tokens) will support 5,000 SCR delegations to each high-performing graduate who successfully completes the program.

Line Item Breakdown	Cost
Trainee Incentives	$15,000
Module Development	$27,000
Facilitator Compensation	$29,000
Tooling and Admin Costs	$1,000
Budget Buffer*	$15,000
Budget for delegation pool	100,000 SCR
Total	$87,000 + 100,000 SCR

Total proposal request = $87,000 equivalent in SCR + 100,000 SCR for delegation.

All funds requested will be paid in SCR.

Note: The budget buffer ensures adequate coverage in the event of adverse price action or unanticipated execution costs. Unused funds will be returned to the DAO treasury or rolled over into a future program iteration.

Please note that, pending approval of this proposal, a follow-up proposal is planned to outline deeper operational details, including the finalised curriculum, program tooling, participant selection criteria, trainee rewards structure, and KPIs for measuring program impact.
