Administrative Overhaul at Scroll
Ethereum Layer 2 network Scroll is initiating a major governance transition. The project proposes the immediate dissolution of its Security Council and a sharp reduction in DAO contributor roles. According to a formal statement released by contributor Juan, the protocol plans to transfer administrative authority to a new multi-signature wallet, dubbed “Scroll Admin,” within a 10-day window.
This move signals a shift in how the network manages its internal operations. By centralizing control through the new multisig, the team aims to reconfigure the oversight mechanisms that previously governed the Ethereum (ETH) profile scaling solution.
Governance Restructuring Details
The proposed changes represent a retreat from the decentralized contributor model Scroll previously adopted. The following adjustments are currently on the table:
- Dissolution of the Security Council: The existing body tasked with protocol safety will be removed.
- Contributor Cutbacks: DAO roles are facing a significant reduction, limiting the scope of community involvement in administrative tasks.
- Centralized Control: The “Scroll Admin” multisig will take over authority, consolidating decision-making power.
