According to delegate Olimpio, while DAO leadership has resigned, governance proposals remain active, creating a complex situation for token holders and the broader community.
In a recent delegate call, key figures discussed the current state of governance and the steps ahead, highlighting a period of experimentation and adjustment.
Leadership Changes and Governance Redesign
This week, Eugene, the head of Scroll DAO leadership, officially resigned, leaving the organization without its primary decision-makers. Co-founder Haichen confirmed that the team is actively redesigning governance, emphasizing the need to rethink the decision-making process. Team member Raza added that the intention is not to dismantle governance entirely but to pause it, noting the importance of careful wording temporarily.
The uncertainty has created questions around live proposals. For instance, a treasury management proposal is still active, and the team is debating whether it should be honored. Raza admitted that even they were unclear on which proposals were live or previously approved, underscoring the challenges of maintaining transparent, decentralized operations. Olimpio, who remains a top delegate with 176,000 SCR tokens, confirmed that he continues to monitor the situation and update the community.

The Broader Implications for DAOs
Scroll DAO’s current pause reflects a broader trend in the decentralized space. As DAOs grow more complex, maintaining clarity around governance structures becomes increasingly difficult. A real-world example comes from the MakerDAO community, which faced similar governance debates over collateral types and treasury allocations. Both cases highlight the importance of clear processes, timely communication, and community trust.
Delegates are now calling the governance approach an experiment, acknowledging that next steps are still unclear. This approach contrasts with traditional corporate boards, where decisions are centralized and clearly communicated. For DAO participants, the lack of transparency can create confusion and uncertainty, especially when funds or proposals are at stake.
The pause also signals the growing pains of decentralized governance. As DAOs attempt to balance decentralization with operational efficiency, temporary halts may become more common. Investors and delegators should stay informed, track active proposals, and engage in discussions to understand potential impacts on token value and project direction.
