Thanks everyone for the feedback so far. I want to clarify a few points about the emergency quorum adjustment and the context behind it.
The change was reviewed and approved by a majority of the Security Council. The quorum was temporarily lowered to 1.6M VP, and this adjustment is not intended to be permanent. It is designed specifically for this voting cycle while we navigate a unique short-term situation.
Over the past few days, we saw a significant influx of new delegated VP concentrated among a few delegates. If those delegates remain active, the original quorum will no longer be an issue in the near term. Because of this, the temporary reduction simply prevents us from failing to pass critical proposals due to quorum mechanics rather than lack of support. The approval threshold itself remains unchanged, so the security profile of the protocol was never at risk.
The reason this temporary measure makes sense is that we are already working toward a deeper redesign of governance for 2026. In the new DAO structure, we expect to introduce mechanisms that directly address this problem in a more robust and long-term way, including:
• Dynamic quorum models
• Stronger incentives for active delegation
• Different voting mechanisms depending on proposal type to ensure quorum does not unintentionally block governance
Our goal is always to maintain a governance process that protects the protocol while enabling necessary upgrades to move forward. This quorum adjustment was made with that principle in mind.
We hope the DAO can continue supporting us as we work toward the best outcomes for Scroll and the broader community.
As a reminder, the upcoming Co-Creation Sprint will be the main space where these structural improvements and design optimizations will be discussed in detail as we plan ahead for 2026. We invite everyone to participate and help shape the next evolution of Scroll governance.
