Scroll DAO undergoes restructuring, foundation will maintain veto power

• Scroll DAO will have new governance with foundation oversight
• Daily operations are under the control of the Executive Board
• Updated Constitution to be voted on in January 2026

Scroll DAO, a decentralized organization working on developing Ethereum's layer-2 scaling protocol, announced changes to its governance structure. The entity stated that it will not be dissolved, but rather "evolved," with the Scroll Foundation assuming an oversight role and retaining veto power over strategic decisions.

Em official forum post , the team highlighted the need for more agile processes to keep pace with the market. "Scroll's rapid growth demands faster alignment, efficiency, and resource allocation than current DAO processes allow," the development team explained. The redesign aims to balance community participation with efficient execution.

Under the new model, the DAO's treasury allocations will be annual or biannual, while the foundation will no longer be involved in day-to-day operations and will instead focus on strategic guidance. The Executive Board will be responsible for day-to-day operations, ensuring the DAO's continued operation.

The developers emphasized that the changes do not affect the protocol level and that user funds remain secure. Since its launch 11 months ago, Scroll DAO has not directly managed user funds, and protocol updates are coordinated with the Security Council.

In the coming days, the project intends to open the recruitment process for a Governance Council, which will be tasked with drafting an updated constitution. This new structure is expected to come into effect during the January 2026 voting cycle, cementing the governance changes.

The update comes after Delegate Olimpio announced his intention to temporarily pause the governance mechanism, amid recent leadership resignations. Even with the restructuring, existing programs such as the Delegate Accelerator, the Ecosystem Growth Council, and the Security Allowance Program will remain within their approved budgets and timelines, preserving the progress of ongoing initiatives.
