Scroll updates DAO reform governance process and goals, aiming to complete preparations for the new structure by January 1st of next year

Huoxun Finance reported on September 18th that Scroll, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, released an update on the evolution of its DAO, stating that it will not disband the DAO but will only improve it to accommodate its rapid growth. These changes do not introduce protocol-level risks, and user funds remain secure. The goal of this governance reform is to create a DAO environment based on clear mandates that better aligns with Scroll's vision. Key structural changes proposed for the DAO include: 1. Foundation oversight and operational autonomy, with the DAO reporting to the Foundation; 2. Strategic resource allocation: DAO funds will be determined and allocated annually or biennially to ensure strategic and efficient use of resources; 3. Increased operational independence: The Foundation will withdraw from day-to-day operations of the DAO and instead oversee it through an Executive Committee, ensuring proposals align with Scroll's guidelines and retaining veto power when necessary. Scroll plans to recruit Governance Committee members in the coming days and work with them to design a new charter and governance model. These will be drafted into a proposal, which will be submitted for feedback and a vote by the DAO. The goal is to complete preparations for the new structure before the January 1, 2026 voting cycle. During this transition phase, the community team will serve as the DAO’s proof of concept. Earlier on September 11th, ScrollDAO governance was announced to be “suspended” and the leadership team resigned collectively.
