In response to recent claims suggesting that the majority of Scroll’s upcoming airdrop will be unfairly allocated to the development team and founders, Scroll developers have released a statement to clarify the situation and ensure transparency.

Clarification from Scroll Developers

Scroll developers have stated that users automatically accumulate tokens when they bridge assets or interact with appropriate protocols within the Scroll ecosystem. This process is universal, including for project and team wallets.

Token Distribution Mechanism

The developers also explained that team and treasury wallets hold these tokens to support ongoing development and operations within the ecosystem. These wallets play a critical role in managing bridge contracts, securing funds, and providing liquidity to maintain the health of the ecosystem.

Response to Community Concerns

To address concerns about potential conflicts of interest, the developers have stated that any co-founders and team members involved in the development of Scroll Sessions or the airdrop process will not be eligible to request any airdrops. Additionally, the developers confirmed that the sole beneficiary of the upcoming airdrop will be the community, an approach they said is in line with their commitment to transparency and fair distribution practices.

While the statement aims to reassure the community about the fairness and transparency of the airdrop distribution, it remains to be seen how these policies will be received given the ongoing concerns raised by some members of the community.
