Proposal: Scroll DAO Timelock Test

General
,
1

Proposal Type: Operations

Summary

This proposal is to test the timelock with the DAO. That would entail sending 1 SCR to the timelock, and executing this proposal would send the 1 SCR back to the DAO treasury.

There will be no cost to the DAO.

Motivation

The goal of this proposal is to show that everything is working as intended with the timelock. This is an important part before putting more of the DAO budget into the timelock and minimizing the reliance on manual execution of the transactions.

Execution

Operational

This would entail:

  • Sending 1 SCR to the timelock from the DAO treasury, to be executed by the operations team
  • Submitting this proposal onchain on September 1 via Agora that includes a transaction of the 1 SCR back to the DAO treasury, done by the governance team
  • Confirming that the 1 SCR made it back to the DAO treasury and confirming in this post

You can confirm the wallet addresses in the gov docs.

Personnel & Resources

The governance and operations team from the Foundation.

Financial

No cost or new tooling will need to be used for this.

Evaluation

This would involve:

  • Did 1 SCR get sent to the timelock before Sept 1
  • Was the proposal posted for the Sept 1 voting cycle
  • Did the 1 SCR make it back to the DAO treasury

Conclusion

This proposal is meant to test the timelock for Scroll DAO. This is a needed first step in terms of financial ops for the DAO as we go along the progressive decentralization journey.

Thanks for the proposal, good idea to test.
This refers to the 3-day Timelock for on-chain payments from the DAO treasury? Just to be clear on the term.

So they’re related. There is the timelock itself and the timelock delay.

Timelock = the mechanism of how onchain execution happens. Using the timelock means that we have to add a pointer address for where funds get sent.

Timelock delay = three day delay between the vote concluding and the funds actually getting sent

This is a good test and ideally it’s safer to test run things like this, before the bigger funds can be used. Endorsed by me.

Short but solid proposal. A simple 1 SCR round-trip is the right way to sanity-check the timelock before we push real size through it.

Endorsed.

Seeing the support for this, I am going ahead with initiating the 1 SCR transaction from the DAO treasury to the timelock ahead of the Sept 1 voting cycle.

We support this proposal as a pragmatic step towards strengthening Scroll DAO’s operational security. Testing the timelock with a low-stakes transaction builds confidence before scaling.

I also endorse this proposal for the September voting cycle, as this proposal will bring the DAO closer to full decentralization and Phase 2 of the L2Beats Stage Framework by assisting the DAO accomplish the goal of automated executions.

Short and sweet proposal, this is an easy endorsement for us (verified delegate).

This is a test proposal with risk capped at 1 SCR. I endorse this proposal as a verified delegate.

We vote FOR this proposal.

This test is crucial to demonstrate that Scroll’s progressive decentralization is truly taking place. It also aligns closely with our perspective on governance security, since decentralization metrics are one of the key areas we continuously analyze.

We are available to review and provide input to help strengthen this process.
