Predictions and Preparations for Ethereum Upgrade 4844
Predictions and Preparations for Ethereum Upgrade 4844
A prediction about Ethereum 4844 suggests Blob will be cheaper than calldata on mainnet. Users urged to be cautious with L2 upgrades, conduct audits and have backup plans. Scroll has prepared for the upgrade to reduce fees, maintain security. Concern raised about projects launching without audits, testnets or proper security measures in the current bullish market.
My slightly controversial prediction about 4844: 1) Blob will be 3-5x cheaper than calldata (the number comes from Goerli testnet), Polymarket doesn鈥檛 have big enough counter party. Hopefully, there won鈥檛 be blob-inscription to further compete with Rollups 馃槀 2) It鈥檚 super
Polymarket is predicting that blobs (~125 kB) will cost ~0.001 ETH. Today, 125 kB calldata costs ~30 gwei per gas * 16 gas per byte * 125000 gas ~= 0.06 ETH And if you think polymarket's guess that blobs will be 60x cheaper is over-optimistic, you can use the market to hedge!
Scroll Proposes Dissolving Security Council, Shifting to Admin Multisig
Scroll has announced a proposal to **dissolve its Security Council** and transition protocol admin control to a Scroll Admin multisig over the next ten days. **Key Points:** - The Security Council's cost no longer justified its actual usage over recent quarters - Resources will be redirected toward product development and growth initiatives - The team maintains confidence in their mature, audited infrastructure - Plans to work with stakeholders on a new security council structure better suited to current market conditions The engineering team that built Scroll's infrastructure will continue active maintenance under high security standards. Full contract specifics and governance details are available on the [Scroll governance forum](https://forum.scroll.io/t/governance-update-security-council-transition-contributor-roles-operational-adjustments/1470). This represents a significant operational shift as Scroll optimizes its governance structure while maintaining its commitment to user security.

Scroll's Delegate Contribution Program Expands Beyond Simple Voting
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.
Scroll DAO Allocates $60k Quarterly for Delegate Participation Programs
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.
Scroll DAO Delegate Accelerator Program Completes 7-Week Training Initiative
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.
