Open call to the service providers:

The governance team invites qualified service providers to submit proposals to support the DAO in developing a robust treasury management strategy. We are particularly interested in teams with demonstrated experience managing on-chain assets, supporting DAO governance processes, and designing transparent, risk-aware financial systems.

This is an opportunity to help shape Scroll’s financial future - not just by managing assets, but by co-designing the frameworks and tools that will support long-term sustainability, decentralization, and protocol alignment.

We welcome proposals from:

  • Treasury management companies/DAOs
  • On-chain risk and financial modeling teams
  • DAO-native strategists and financial consultants
  • Service providers with experience in tooling

All proposals will be reviewed by the Foundation and the DAO. Shortlisted teams may be invited to present their proposal publicly and/or take part in a pilot program or deeper scoping round.

All submitted proposals will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

  1. Strategic fit: alignment with Scroll DAO’s mission & values.
  2. Relevant experience
  3. Treasury & risk management approach
  4. Tooling
  5. Cost
  6. Willingness to potentially work alongside other service providers
  7. Commitment to consistent public reporting (with an outline of the frequency / nature of updates)
