Statement of Intent

Proxy (prev Boardroom) is a team that consists of DAO governance professionals. We have experience building and servicing governance systems for some of the largest DAOs in the space including Moonwell. Our team has been in the space since its early days and we’ve developed a comprehensive understanding of governance needs across diverse sectors, including DeFi, staking, and L2 scaling, among others. We aim to provide Scroll with strategic guidance and data-driven insights that enable sound decision-making.

Core Values

  • Commitment to Accountability: Accountability is key to ensuring that governance is transparent and effective. Based on our experience working with DAOs, we’ve seen how critical it is to develop clear accountability mechanisms that hold both delegates and decision-makers responsible for their actions. Governance systems should not only track voting behavior and participation but also offer mechanisms for stakeholders to understand how resources are being allocated.
  • Data-Driven Decision Making: We bring a robust data-centric approach to our role, drawing insights from our experience with governance metrics to evaluate proposals thoroughly and responsibly.
  • Community: A protocol is only as strong as its community. We’ve seen how confusing governance processes and lack of clear communication can leave people feeling disconnected. Our goal is to help make governance easier to understand and more accessible for everyone, not just big players. We believe that if we make things clearer and reduce barriers to entry, more people will actually get involved, and the protocol will benefit from a wider range of perspectives.

Disclosures/Conflicts of Interest

We are actively involved as a delegate and governance provider for several other DAOs, including ZKsync, Morpho, Uniswap, ParaSwap, and Moonwell. We are committed to disclosing potential conflicts of interest arising during our engagement with Scroll governance. Proxy will participate in Scroll governance on a best-effort basis and will not be liable for any damages related to its participation in Scroll governance.

Proposal: Scroll DAO Constitution

Vote: For

Rationale: We’re in support of the current proposed Scroll DAO Constitution. First, it’s important to note that it is a living document that will develop over time. While there may be areas for improvement, we think this is a really strong start. The six-article design is well-structured and accessible, which is important for a founding document like this. The definitions in Article II and the governance procedures in Article III are clear. In Article II, the language could be a bit clearer around the point that SCR holders must delegate to themselves or others in order to participate in governance. As it’s currently stated, “Anyone can participate in the Scroll DAO through holding Scroll’s native token $SCR (“SCR holders”) via delegation to themselves or others.” It might be better to use something more akin to “through receiving delegations of $SCR…”, removing “holding” to avoid confusion. For voting quorum, 0.21% of the total supply is on the lower end, but it is reasonable for the launch of DAO governance and it can be adjusted in the future by the Governor Admin. The four governing principles are strong. Overall, we are happy with the evolution of this Constitution through feedback in the governance forums. Even if we can’t reach 100% consensus on every minute point, it’s important to establish a strong initial governing document upon which we can iterate, which we believe this accomplishes.

Proposal: Euclid Upgrade

Vote: For

Rationale: We’re voting YES on the Euclid Upgrade. It’s a meaningful step forward for Scroll’s protocol maturity and aligns with the long-term roadmap around performance, compatibility, and security. While we’re not weighing in on every technical detail, the process has been transparent, the rollout seems well-coordinated, and the upgrade brings Scroll in line with broader L2 and Ethereum standards. We support the direction and trust the core contributors and Security Council to manage execution responsibly.

Proposal: Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal

Vote: For

Rationale: We voted FOR the delegate accelerator. Proxy took part in the calls that helped to refine the program and we’re satisfied with the changes that were made in the forum discussion. It also creates a real pathway for new contributors to earn trust and authority in the ecosystem without insider connections. This kind of infrastructure raises the floor for governance and helps us scale Scroll without losing the culture and integrity that got it here.

Proposal: Mexico Mobile Scroll Node: A Founder-Focused Onboarding and Support Program

Vote: For

Rationale: Although we voted in favor of this proposal, we think there is room for improvement here (i.e. we largely share Danielo’s opinions on vertical specialization). That said, given the Scroll Foundation’s support and recommendations, we’re happy to proceed with the proposal as-is and evaluate it as a learning opportunity.

…

Proposal: Ecosystem Growth Council Formation

Vote: For

Rationale: We’re satisfied with the feedback given in the forums and the revisions to the proposal that were made at the end of the process. As the first formal council in Scroll DAO, the EGC has the important mandate of approving/overseeing/evaluating growth programs; we’re happy to see this system explicitly being set in motion. The budget (2M SCR) makes sense given its scope.

Proposal: Gov Contribution Recognition - Retro & Working Group

Vote: For

Rationale: As we explained in the forum discussion, we’re in favor of implementing this proposal as-is for this initial round. A few delegates brought up great considerations for future programs, but we appreciate that it’s been communicated that a few criteria are one-time “bonuses” for this first retroactive round only as it will help reduce gamification of the system in the future. We’re also of the opinion that including IRL events largely goes against Scroll’s inclusivity values, so we’re happy that the current proposal prioritizes voting, attending calls, using the forums, creating proposals, posting rationales, etc.

Proposal: Votable Supply Adjustment - Auto-Abstaining Wallet

Vote: For

Rationale: We originally were in favor of distributing voting power among delegates equally (doing some form of VP distribution seemed to be the broader consensus among community members). That said, the goal of the discussion was to come up with a solution to the quorum problem, and the auto-abstaining wallet effectively accomplishes that goal.

…

Proposal: Kenya Scroll Local Node Founder Program

Vote: For

Rationale: Kenya is one of the four priority regions provided by the Scroll Foundation in the original LN Framework post. We’re happy with the proposer’s qualifications and look forward to seeing the program increase Scroll’s reach globally.

…

Proposal: Brazil Local Node

Vote: For

Rationale: Similar to our rationale for Mexico and Kenya. Brazil was also one of the four priority regions provided by the Scroll Foundation in the original LN Framework post.
