Proposal: Brazil Local Node
Vote: For
Rationale: Following our endorsement in the forum, we voted ‘for’ this proposal. Brazil’s importance in this context is not breaking news. By being Latam’s biggest economy plus having an ever-increasing crypto ecosystem, it was a natural choice for the Local Nodes framework. When it comes to the proposal itself, we believe that Modular Crypto has structured it quite well and it’s aligned with the Local Nodes’ goals. To this end, the ‘Programa de Aceleração Scroll Brasil’ is specifically designed to ‘transform builders into founders’, preparing them for future Open Zero editions. Moreover, their strategic partnerships will help them to reach out to builders and, coupled with the IRL events, targeted bizdev efforts, and their educational content, they are on track to supply Scroll with fresh Brazilian builders. All in all, a solid proposal with great potential.
Kenya Scroll Local Node Founder Program
Vote: For
Rationale: We cast a ‘for’ vote on Kenya’s Local Node proposal. Africa’s potential is not a vacuum and overly repeated mantra but rather a reality supported by numbers and active involvement in the crypto ecosystem. Therefore, we agreed with the Foundation on marking Kenya as a key region from the very beginning and we voted ‘for’ this proposal. The proposal crafted by Web3Clubs is well-aligned with the Local Nodes’ ethos. We liked the statement of having 5 to 10 Scroll-powered projects rolled out through their Founder Factory model. Another great point is the three-stage pipeline, which provides a structured progression to turn ideas into market-ready projects. Lastly, the strategic partnerships mentioned plus the Web3 incubator are set up to bring new builders to Scroll. Looking forward to seeing this Local Node take off.
Proposal Title: Votable Supply Adjustment - Auto-Abstaining Wallet
Vote: For
Rationale: As we mentioned during the governance calls and in the forum discussions, we supported this proposal, therefore we voted ‘for’ it. We believe that, among the discussed options, this was certainly the most straightforward one to temporarily tackle the quorum concern. Now that we, hopefully, have sorted out this issue, we are really looking forward to discussing long-term solutions to the real issue: increasing Scroll’s votable supply.
Proposal: Gov Contribution Recognition - Retro & Working Group
Vote: For
Rationale: We materialised our support for this proposal by casting our ‘for’ vote on it. We really appreciate the work that Eugene and Jamilya put into crafting this proposal and iterating on it to include delegates’ feedback. The discussion around this proposal was pretty helpful in understanding what other delegates think about the work that we bring to the DAO and how valuable it is for everyone. Looking forward to seeing this proposal approved and the working group created.
Proposal: Ecosystem Growth Council Formation
Vote: For
Rationale: We voted ‘for’ on this proposal. From the beginning we supported the idea of creating the EGC, since addressing the proposals on ecosystem growth matters requires not only dedication but also knowledge on the topic. Additionally, we believe that the composition of the Council is well-balanced and the compensation sounds good too. We expect some operational follow regarding accountability and leadership measures once the EGC is set up.
Mexico Mobile Scroll Node: A Founder-Focused Onboarding and Support Program
Vote: For
Rationale: We voted ‘for’ this proposal. While not listed as one of the four key regions for the Scroll Foundation, no one can deny Mexico’s importance to the crypto ecosystem and that it will well-represent the Hispanic market. Humberto crafted a pretty solid proposal which lives up to the biggest Local Nodes’ goal of onboarding builders to Scroll. In this regard, it’s interesting how the programme is set to onboard builders and get them ready to participate in the Open Zero and Open Campus programmes. There’s definitely great potential in Mexico’s Local Node.
