Summary

This proposal introduces Scroll Signal Sessions, a lightweight pilot to operationalize the outputs of the Delegates Contribution Program (DCP) 1 — State of Scroll.

The DCP Pilot will soon produce a high-signal, decision-useful “State of Scroll” view across key regions and verticals to support the DAO with shared, credible ecosystem context — informing priorities and decision-making.

To translate those insights into actionable next steps, this proposal introduces Scroll Signal Sessions as a lightweight pilot for structured discussion, refinement, and early coordination.

Scroll Signal Sessions are small, structured working sessions where contributors bring early-stage ideas informed by DCP 1 findings and refine them with input from delegates and key stakeholders, helping prepare the ideas for formal governance or future DCP cycles.

Ultimately, the goal is to improve the quality of proposals that enter the Scroll governance pipeline by helping promising ideas become clearer, more actionable, and more aligned with Scroll’s ecosystem and GTM priorities.

Expected outcomes:

  • Strong proposals grounded in DCP 1 research
  • Alignment with Scroll ecosystem needs and GTM priorities
  • Efficient use of delegate attention
  • A repeatable mechanism for converting ecosystem intelligence into actionable governance inputs

Motivation

DCP 1’s goal is produce a high-signal, decision-useful view of Scroll’s ecosystem that will help the DAO and stakeholders assess the following:

  • regions and verticals where Scroll has traction today
  • areas where adoption gaps exist
  • stakeholders that matter most across regions and verticals
  • opportunities that may be worth prioritizing

A critical operational gap remains between research signal, proposal design, and execution. With this gap, several risks remain:

  • research outputs may stay descriptive rather than actionable
  • ideas may emerge that reference DCP findings only loosely, without clear relevance to Scroll’s priorities
  • delegates may spend time reviewing low-signal or underdeveloped submissions
  • potentially strong opportunities may be lost because they were not shaped early enough

DCP 1 generates ecosystem intelligence. This pilot ensures that intelligence is acted on. It’s a structured pre-proposal step — not a governance layer — that turns research outputs into proposals, experiments, and recommendations that create real value for Scroll.

Execution

Operational Design

We are proposing to run 2–3 Scroll Signal Sessions during the pilot.

Each session will include:

  • 3–5 contributors bringing early ideas derived from DCP 1 findings
  • 2–3 delegates providing governance and strategic feedback
  • Optional Foundation participants for ecosystem or GTM context

Each session will last 60–90 minutes and follow a simple structure:

  1. Opportunity framing — What specific DCP 1 insight, regional pattern, stakeholder gap, or ecosystem opportunity is being addressed?
  2. Relevance to Scroll —Why does this matter specifically for Scroll’s ecosystem growth, adoption, app strategy, distribution, or market positioning?
  3. Alignment check — Does the idea connect clearly to Scroll’s priorities, GTM strategy, ecosystem development needs, and other concrete strategic objectives?
  4. Proposal shaping— What form should this idea take?
    • Governance proposal
    • DCP follow-on work
    • Ecosystem experiment
    • Partnership or activation concept
    • Recommendation to the Foundation or DAO
  5. Define Next Steps— What should happen next, who owns it, and what would success look like?

Process flow

  1. Select 6–10 early ideas grounded in DCP 1 outputs

  2. Cluster them based on relevance, maturity, or theme

  3. Run 2–3 sessions over approximately four weeks

  4. Support light post-session refinement for the strongest ideas

  5. Publish a lightweight report that includes:

    • recurring gaps in proposal quality
    • patterns across DCP-generated opportunities
    • recommendations for improving future DCP cycles
    • the types of ideas that appear most actionable for Scroll
    • a visual progression of how ideas evolved from the sessions to formal proposals

  6. Pilot duration: 6 to 7 weeks

Stakeholders involved

  1. DCP contributors

  2. Delegates

  3. Optional Foundation participants

Evaluation

Scroll’s governance is currently seeing limited new proposal activity. Signal Sessions are designed to address this directly — by increasing the quantity of proposals entering formal pathways while remaining selective about what advances. The goal is not volume for its own sake, but a steady flow of well-developed, high-quality ideas that are worth the ecosystem’s attention.

Qualitative KPIs

  • Are outputs from Signal Sessions stronger, more actionable, and better aligned with Scroll’s priorities?

  • Is the quality of formal governance submissions improving?

  • Are delegates spending less time on noise and more on high-potential ideas?

  • Is the process reducing friction between raw ideas and meaningful proposals?

Quantitative KPIs

  • Completion Rate — 80% of selected ideas complete the full Signal Session process end-to-end.

  • Conversion to Action — 40% advance into a formal pathway: forum proposal, DCP follow-on, or ecosystem experiment.

  • Participant Feedback — 75% of contributors and delegates provide formal feedback to inform future cycles.

  • Quality Advancement — 70% show measurable improvement in clarity, GTM alignment, and technical specificity from draft to final output.

Conclusion

DCP 1 generates signal about Scroll’s ecosystem. Signal Sessions make that signal usable.

By creating a lightweight bridge between research and action, Signal Sessions help promising ideas become clearer, more strategic, and better scoped — without introducing new governance layers or operational overhead. The result is a more focused path from ecosystem intelligence to meaningful proposals.

We welcome feedback as this proposal develops.
