Devcon ZK Connect Panel Highlights and Upcoming Events

**ChatterPay** has launched a voice-based transaction feature that allows users to send cryptocurrency using voice notes instead of typing or pasting wallet addresses. **Key Features:** - Send crypto by simply speaking - Eliminates manual address entry - Reduces risk of transaction errors from typos **Why It Matters:** The feature addresses a common pain point in crypto transactions - the risk of losing funds due to incorrect address entry. By using voice commands, users can avoid the costly mistakes that come from "fat-fingering" wallet addresses. This represents a shift toward more intuitive, user-friendly crypto interfaces that lower the barrier to entry for everyday transactions.

Scroll has announced its inaugural **Verified Delegates cohort**, recognizing 26 active participants in the ecosystem's governance and DAO operations. The delegates include organizations and individuals such as ModularCrypto, sovereignsignal, PinkBrains_io, Curia_gov, DAOplomats, blockful_io, growthepie_eth, SEEDGov, and others who have demonstrated consistent engagement in Scroll's governance processes. This recognition follows the completion of the Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator program, which ran for 7 weeks with support from StableLab, SEEDGov, and Factory Labs.

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.
