Scroll DAO, the community-led organization behind Ethereum Layer 2 Scroll, has temporarily paused its operations following the resignation of a key member, Eugene Chen. This decision has left the community uncertain about next steps.
Reasons for the Temporary Halt
Eugene Chen's resignation, in which he expressed a desire to 'minimize governance', has led to the temporary suspension of Scroll DAO's operations. Chen will officially step down on September 30 but plans to continue advocating for the community until then.
Impact on Current Proposals
The pause in governance has resulted in the stalling of several key proposals, including the establishment of a governance council and recognition of contributors for May to December 2025. Community members express concern about the future of these initiatives.
Future of Scroll DAO
Co-founder Haichen Shen stated that governance is being 'redesigned', though no specific timeline for changes has been provided. It is expected that this is merely a 'pause', but some members worry about a potential shift towards centralization.
The temporary halt of Scroll DAO may have significant implications for the management and development of the project. Further clarifications and steps in the reorganization process are anticipated.
