Korean builders came ready to explore what's next!
Amazing turnout at our yesterday's Seoul event with @Xangle_official - packed room discussing our latest protocol improvements and the future of stablecoins with @QuillFi's USDQ.
When your government creates a "Dollar Coldplay" exchange rate just for concert tickets, something has gone seriously wrong...
Argentina has different dollar rates for everything:
> Dollar blue for the black market. > Dollar Qatar for the World Cup. > Even dollar "small face" for older bills that somehow count as less valuable.
People can lose 40% of their money just trying to exchange currency at the "official" rate. And that's not a small fee - that's losing nearly half your paycheck because you used the wrong exchange window.
What happens instead? People turn to stablecoins.
In our latest article, we cover how they are helping real people facing economic instability.
We’re sunsetting the Sessions 2 incentive program.
A snapshot has been taken on April 30th, 00:00 UTC - after which, Marks are no longer accruing.
Thank you to everyone who participated and helped shape the early Scroll ecosystem.
Here’s what’s next:
1/ Building for users, focusing on long-term impact
Our mission is the same: build the Open Economy by supporting founders, users, and applications where blockchain is truly needed - not just wanted. But how we get there is changing - broad incentive programs like Sessions 2 are no longer the right fit.
We’re shifting focus to backing teams like @QuillFi, @vifi_labs, @ether_fi Cash and @honeypop_app - who are solving problems for people across continents.
2/ A more focused, builder-first strategy
Our ecosystem growth strategy is becoming more focused, more collaborative, and more committed to builders shaping our ecosystem.
What this means: • New programs designed around real usage and long-term impact.
• Funding teams building with purpose, solving real problems, and committed to the journey.
• Working directly with founders to tailor incentive programs that meet their needs at every stage of growth.
3/ What you need to know:
• Snapshot for Sessions 2 Marks has been taken on April 30th at 00:00 UTC.
• Marks will no longer accrue after this date. • The Sessions dashboard will remain available so you can view the Marks you’ve accrued.
• Stay tuned for more updates on incentives rewards, happening later in Q4 of 2025. We are just getting started.
Thank you for being part of building the Open Economy with us!
