Scroll DAO Foundation to step back from daily operations while retaining veto power

Scroll DAO, the decentralized autonomous organization behind the Ethereum Layer 2 scaling project Scroll, said Thursday that it is not disbanding the DAO but “evolving it.”

In a Thursday forum post, Scroll DAO announced an overhaul of its governance, seeking to balance community participation with the “faster” execution needed to keep pace with the market. 

“Scroll’s rapid growth demands faster alignment, efficiency, and resource allocation than current DAO processes allow,” the team said.

The project noted that the changes carry no protocol-level risks and that user funds remain fully secure. “Since its launch nearly 11 months ago, the Scroll DAO has not managed user funds and Protocol Upgrades will continue to be coordinated with the DAO and executed by our Security Council,” the team added.

Specifically, under the revamp, the DAO is set to report to the Scroll Foundation, which will provide oversight and retain veto power where necessary. The DAO treasury allocations will shift to an annual or biannual schedule.

The Execution Council is expected to handle operations of the DAO, while the Foundation intends to step back from daily involvement, focusing instead on strategic guidance and oversight.

The project said it will start recruiting for the Governance Council in the coming days to help draft an updated DAO constitution, with the new structure targeted for implementation in the January 2026 voting cycle.

The Scroll DAO’s restructuring update came after project delegate Olimpio reported last week that the DAO planned to pause its governance mechanism following a wave of leadership resignations.

Meanwhile, several existing initiatives — including the Delegate Accelerator Program, Ecosystem Growth Council, and Security Subsidy Program — are expected to continue under their approved budgets and timelines.
