Scroll updates the governance process and goals of DAO reform, and plans to complete the preparations for the new architecture before January 1 next year

PANews reported on September 18 that Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll released an update on its DAO evolution, saying that it will not disband the DAO, but will only improve it to adapt to the rapid growth stage. These changes will not bring protocol-level risks, and user funds are still safe. The goal of this governance reform is to create a DAO environment based on clear mandates and more in line with the Scroll vision. Key structural changes in DAO recommendations: 1. Foundation supervision, operational autonomy, DAO will report to the Foundation; 2. Strategic resource allocation: DAO funds will be determined and allocated every year or every two years to ensure that resources are strategic and efficiently utilized; 3. Improve operational independence: The Foundation will withdraw from the daily operations of DAO and instead supervise through the Executive Committee to ensure that the proposal is consistent with Scroll's guidelines and reserve the veto power if necessary. Scroll plans to recruit members of the Governance Committee in the coming days and work with them to design new charter and governance models. These contents will be drafted into a proposal to solicit feedback from the DAO and vote on it. Its goal is to complete preparations for the new architecture before the voting cycle on January 1, 2026. During this transitional phase, the community team will act as the POC of the DAO. Earlier on September 11, ScrollDAO governance announced a "suspended" and the leadership team resigned collectively.
