According to PANews, Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll has announced updates regarding the evolution of its DAO, stating that it will not dissolve the DAO but rather improve it to accommodate rapid growth. These changes are designed to avoid protocol-level risks, ensuring user funds remain secure. The governance reform aims to create a DAO environment that aligns more closely with Scroll's vision, based on clear authorization.
Key structural changes proposed for the DAO include: 1. Foundation oversight with operational autonomy, where the DAO will report to the foundation; 2. Strategic resource allocation, with DAO funds determined and allocated annually or biennially to ensure efficient use of resources; 3. Enhanced operational independence, as the foundation will withdraw from daily operations, instead supervising through an executive committee to ensure proposals align with Scroll's guidelines, retaining veto power when necessary.
Scroll plans to recruit governance committee members in the coming days and collaborate with them to design new charters and governance models. These will be drafted into a proposal for DAO feedback and voting, with the goal of completing the new architecture before the voting cycle on January 1, 2026. During this transition phase, the community team will act as the DAO's point of contact.
Previously, on September 11, ScrollDAO governance announced a "pause" following the collective resignation of its leadership team.
