Brief Introduction

Web3 Citizen is a research collective with the mission to empower the Web3 community by making complex topics accessible. As a community-centered project, our members contribute to expanding collective knowledge and continue open sourcing our insights. Members of our team have contributed to Optimism and been involved in Arbitrum governance. We look forward to collaborating in shaping the future of the Scroll ecosystem.

As delegates, we commit to upholding Delegate Expectations, aligning with Scroll’s mission, making informed decisions, and participating in governance to effectively drive Scroll’s growth and support its global adoption.

Core Issues:

  • Decentralization: Minimizing the reliance of any single actor by building a resilient, trustless protocol.
  • Governance: Prioritizes collaborative decision-making that is fair, transparent, and accountable whilst upholding the protocols best interests.
  • Builders: Focused on empowering builders with the necessary tools, resources, and support to help them thrive and create innovative applications.
  • Privacy: Preserves freedom. Ensures everyone can participate without fear.
  • Community: Believes in building a strong community by engaging with people locally and globally while fostering collaboration across regions.

In this thread we will share our votes and rationale.

Should any conflict of interest arise, we will abstain from a vote and will communicate it in this thread.

Research to Inform a Builder Support Strategy

We’re glad to see Scroll’s first proposal passing!

We voted FOR this proposal

We support this proposal overall objectives. Establishing a builders program requires a solid foundation rooted in research and a comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem it aims to support.

The scope, methodology, deliverables, and budget outlined in the proposal are well-thought-out and reasonable. We hope the research will result in actionable insights that can be translated into a successful and impactful program.

We look forward to reviewing the research findings and deliverables.

Scroll DAO Constution

We are voting FOR this proposal

The proposal establishes the first iteration of Scroll DAO governance framework formalizing roles for governance facilitation, transparent processes and commits to progressive decentralization. Our main concerns regarding clarity on the Security Council structure and governance thresholds have been addressed during discussions.

We see this as a great first installment of the constitution.

Euclid Upgrade

We voted FOR this proposal.

The upgrade will bring numerous benefits for Scroll with the new OpenVM allowing for DA cost reduction, improvement sequencer throughput and better safety guarantees. We’re relying in the audits done by Cantina, Trial of bits, and Axiom and their verified fixes to inform our vote.

Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator Proposal

We are voting abstain.

We share the goal of building a stronger delegate set, with qualified informed delegates. We are voting abstain because we’re not convinced that this program is the best fit.

  • We recognise that through the program participating delegates will gain better understanding required to engage in discussions. We’re not fully convinced discernment of proposals can be meaningfully taught in 7 weeks course, or that it will cultivate a robust pipeline of informed delegates such that it warrants this sizable investment from Scroll.

  • From our perspective, delegates should mainly emerge with a better understanding of Scroll’s tech, which could inform better proposals in the DAO and better outcomes for the Scroll ecosystem. We recognise that the survey results don’t directly match our position, as most existing delegates voted that “unclear expectations as delegates” and “complex processes” were their main challenges in DAO governance. We also recognise incentives make delegates inclined to participate and learn. These two reasons are also why we’re not against this proposal.

  • It remains our perspective that our ideal proposal would hone in on Week 5 content instead of governance processes and that tooling like Introduction | The DAO Delegation Handbook V1 by Stable Lab can aid delegates in better understanding expectations and developing a scroll specific post/handbook could also be useful and more cost-effective to meet delegate’s challenges.

We arrive into a middle point: we don’t see a full need for the program and see this as a strong investment, but recognise some delegates have expressed that they would benefit from this and see informed decision making as an ongoing challenge in DAOs. We are voting abstain.
