Introducing Scroll’s First Airdrop: A Celebration of the Global Community

Introducing Scroll’s First Airdrop: A Celebration of the Global Community

Building a decentralized and worldwide ecosystem through SCR distribution is key to the next stage of Scroll’s development.

Today, we are excited to introduce Scroll’s first airdrop to our community, celebrating the collective efforts and contributions that have contributed to Scroll’s success so far.

This initial airdrop sets the stage for our goal of becoming the most globally distributed rollup, rewarding those who have contributed to the growth of Scroll’s protocol, ecosystem, and community. A total of 7% of the total supply of SCR has been allocated for our First Airdrop.

Scroll: Everyone, Everywhere

From local meetups to international events, Scroll has sponsored over 90 community gatherings, all recognized and rewarded through this airdrop. With our core team spread across 30 countries, we’ve established a truly global presence, reflecting the diverse and accessible nature of our ecosystem.

As part of this journey, we’ve met hundreds of individuals and communities who share Scroll’s values. These dedicated contributors have invested their time and effort in organizing events, supporting our mission, and helping create products for equitable financial accessibility. We recognize their importance and the critical roles they play in fostering a vibrant, inclusive ecosystem.

Our First Airdrop Design: Recognizing our Contributors

Our first airdrop fairly rewards key contributors within the Scroll ecosystem. The allocation of SCR tokens reflects the importance of participation, involvement, and community support. These are the major categories of contributors for our first airdrop:

  • Community Drop: Participants that contributed via on-chain activities.
  • Ecosystem Projects: Projects that have built on Scroll, with a focus on growth and innovation.
  • Industry Contributors: Technical contributors, ZK researchers, open-source developers, public goods organizations, and educational data providers supporting the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
  • Global Community: Global community organizers, hackathon winners, Road to DevCon, and Ethereum translators who have supported Scroll’s mission.

The Community Drop

The Community Drop celebrates active onchain involvement, rewarding the efforts that continue to drive Scroll’s growth and innovation. We’ve allocated 55,000,000 SCR tokens (5.5% of the total supply) to participants who have actively contributed to the Scroll ecosystem through their on-chain activities in our Sessions Program.

Out of this allocation, 40,000,000 SCR (4% of the total supply) are proportionally allocated among onchain participants who have accumulated 200 or more Marks as of October 19, 2024, 00:00 UTC (“Snapshot”) (referred to as “eligible onchain participants”).

Flat Boost

We additionally allocate 10,000,000 SCR (1% of the total supply) as a Flat Boost, equally distributed across all eligible on-chain participants. The Flat Boost is our design to ensure all eligible onchain participants receive a meaningful drop, regardless of their Marks count, to balance the distribution across the community.

Onchain Bonus

In addition to the above base allocation, 5,000,000 SCR tokens (0.5% of total supply) is allocated as Onchain Bonus, to be distributed equally across all eligible onchain participants who meet any one of these specific criteria as of August 1, 2024:

  • Holding a top-level ENS name (e.g., scroll.eth) on the Ethereum mainnet.
  • Donating more than $0.01 to any grant on Gitcoin.
  • Donating to any campaign on Juicebox.
  • Using a smart contract wallet on Scroll.

This onchain bonus rewards participants who have not only engaged with Scroll but have also supported public goods and aligned themselves with the broader onchain future we are building.

Canvas Marks Booster

Canvas is an experimental initiative exploring early identity systems on Scroll. Contributions through Canvas are integrated into Marks, allowing participants to benefit from their engagement. Canvas will play a key role in the future, enabling gas-free transactions, career opportunities, community building, and more. Visit our Canvas page to learn more about these evolving opportunities.

We will have a separate article on the vision for Canvas and how we envisage it being used going forward.

We recognize Canvas participants by giving a Marks booster, through a tiered system based on the number of badges held, as follows:

  • Tier 1: 1 to 4 badge(s) gets a booster of 25 Marks in total
  • Tier 2: 5 to 9 badges get a booster of 40 Marks in total
  • Tier 3: 10 to 19 badges get a booster of 50 Marks in total
  • Tier 4: 20 or more badges get a booster of 60 Marks in total

The Marks booster for Canvas aims to help users reach the 200 Marks threshold for eligibility or increase their overall Marks count.

Going forward Canvas badges will no longer be part of the Sessions program and thus will not accrue Marks in the next phase. Please read the article on our next rewards program here for more details.

Ecosystem Projects

Since the launch of Scroll mainnet in October 2023, our ecosystem has experienced significant growth, thanks to the support of innovative projects building on Scroll. To recognize their contributions, we are allocating a total of 6,977,000 SCR to ecosystem projects for our First Airdrop. This allocation is designed to reward as many Scroll-native projects as possible, with a focus on incentivizing builders who contribute directly to the network’s growth.

Over 100 projects are eligible for this allocation, based on two key metrics — Total Value Locked (TVL) as of Snapshot and native integration with Scroll. This initiative marks the beginning of Scroll Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting and incentivizing ecosystem builders. We will continue to provide resources and support to help these projects thrive in the future.

In the next phase, we will introduce Scroll Open, which is dedicated to recognizing the most innovative and rapidly growing projects on Scroll through various rounds of retro rewards. Learn more here.

Industry Contributors: Positive Sum Games for the Ecosystem

We want to recognize contributors who have played a positive sum game for the entire industry, advancing open-source research, technology, and infrastructure in meaningful ways.

Technical Contributors to Scroll

We are allocating a total of 1,150,000 SCR tokens to reward those who have contributed significantly to the technical research and development of Scroll. It includes 115 open-source contributors to Scroll’s codebase, each to receive 10,000 SCR tokens.

ZK Researchers Who Inspired Scroll

Scroll’s journey is built on the innovation of zkEVM, and we are recognizing the ZK researchers whose work laid the foundation for our technology. We are allocating a total of 275,000 SCR tokens to 90 authors of ZK research papers as well as 20 speakers at the ZK symposium, each to receive 2,500 SCR tokens, claimable via the claim portal.

Open-Source Contributors

As an open-source project from the beginning, we want to reward those who have made impactful contributions to open-source repositories. A total of 1,660,000 SCR tokens will be distributed to 664 contributors across the ecosystem, each to receive 2,500 SCR tokens. Contributors to these repositories with at least 20 PRs are qualified for this category.

Educational Data Providers

As data becomes increasingly vital in decentralized ecosystems, we are allocating a total of 150,000 SCR tokens to three organizations that provide open-source, non-profit data: DefiLlamaL2Beat, and GrowThePie, each to receive 50,000 SCR tokens. These groups play a key role in making essential data accessible.

Public Goods Organizations

To support organizations that build and maintain public infrastructure, we are allocating a total of 1,800,000 SCR tokens to public goods-focused groups. This includes Protocol GuildPSEThe Security AllianceEASGitcoin, and ETH Staker.
