Cross-Chain Restaking Expands on Scroll ZK Rollup

Scroll DAO is developing a pilot program to create comprehensive ecosystem documentation. The initiative will produce: - A consolidated report - One-page summaries - Ecosystem maps All materials will be published on the forum for DAO and Foundation reference. **Funding Structure** Contributors will receive defined budgets based on: - Project scope - Specific deliverables The Scroll Foundation may provide data and insights to support the effort. This documentation project runs parallel to ongoing DAO-Foundation discussions about ecosystem growth strategies and user acquisition initiatives.

The **Delegate Contribution Program (DCP)** is evolving to give delegates structured roles beyond traditional voting mechanisms. Key developments: - Delegates will take on **well-defined responsibilities** aligned with Scroll's strategic priorities - Focus areas include ecosystem growth, network security, and data transparency - The program aims to help the DAO make more effective progress in critical areas This shift represents a move toward more **active governance participation**, where delegates contribute specialized expertise rather than simply casting votes on proposals.

The Scroll DAO has established quarterly funding for two governance participation initiatives: - **Governance Contribution Recognition (GCR)**: $36,000 USDC per quarter - **Delegate Contribution Program (DCP)**: $24,000 USDC per quarter These programs incentivize active delegate participation through voting, publishing rationale, and engaging in governance discussions. The GCR program has been running since last year, rewarding delegates who maintain consistent involvement in DAO governance activities.

The **Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator** has concluded its comprehensive 7-week program, with StableLab releasing a full roundup of achievements and outcomes. The program trained **20+ selected delegates** from a competitive applicant pool, focusing on: - DAO governance fundamentals - Active contribution to ecosystem growth - Hands-on learning with expert tutors **Key partners** included StableLab, SEEDGov, and Factory Labs as program tutors. The initiative aimed to build lasting governance knowledge within the Scroll community, equipping delegates with skills to effectively participate in DAO decision-making processes. StableLab's comprehensive report details the program's impact and lessons learned from this governance education experiment.

**Scroll introduces Cloak**, a new validium designed to bring privacy back to crypto transactions while maintaining institutional compliance. **Key Features:** - Uses **ZK proofs** to validate transactions without revealing underlying data - **RPC Authentication Proxy** adds compliance, audits, and controlled access for institutions - Maintains **EVM compatibility** for seamless developer experience **How It Works:** - Integrates with existing tools through **ERC-4361** (Sign In With Ethereum) - RPC Proxy manages asset access using **JWTs** and standard EVM calls - Balances user **confidentiality** with institutional **control requirements** Cloak addresses the critical need for privacy in crypto while ensuring institutions can meet regulatory and audit requirements. The solution preserves the familiar Ethereum development environment. [Learn more about Cloak](https://scroll.link/privacy) | [Technical breakdown](http://scroll.link/privacy-blog)
