Recap of ETH Global New York Hackathon

Scroll has released new snapshot URLs for both Mainnet and Sepolia testnet, making it easier for node operators to sync their L2geth nodes. **New Snapshot Locations:** - **Mainnet**: [snapshot.scroll.io/mpt/latest.tar](https://snapshot.scroll.io/mpt/latest.tar) - **Sepolia**: [snapshot.scroll.io/sepolia/mpt/latest.tar](https://snapshot.scroll.io/sepolia/mpt/latest.tar) These snapshots provide a faster way to bootstrap Scroll nodes without syncing from genesis. Detailed setup guides are available for both networks through Scroll's Notion documentation. Node operators should update their configurations to use these new URLs for improved sync performance.

Scroll has updated the snapshot download URLs for running L2geth nodes. The changes have been implemented in the official Notion guides. **Key Updates:** - New snapshot URLs are now available for node operators - Documentation has been updated with current links - Changes affect L2geth node setup and maintenance Node operators should reference the updated Notion guides for the latest snapshot URLs when setting up or maintaining their Scroll L2geth nodes.

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 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.
