SCR Token Distribution

Airdrops - 15%

We believe that Scroll has the potential to become the most globally distributed and community-centric rollup. In line with this mission and to increase our accountability, we are distributing meaningful ownership to the community. We are allocating 7% of the total token supply to our first airdrop, and we will reserve 8% of the total token supply for future airdrops, which are intended to take place over the next 12-18 months.

The primary goals of our first airdrop are to reward on-chain users who have been actively engaging with the Scroll ecosystem as well as to give thanks to the Scroll community of researchers, open-source contributors, educational and public goods organizations that have made meaningful contributions to Scroll’s protocol development, community, and ecosystem growth.

Ecosystem & Growth - 35%

We are allocating 35% of the total token supply to promote the ecosystem and growth of the Scroll community. This allocation is intended to be distributed to value-additive participants of the ecosystem, to further Scroll’s mission of bringing equitable financial access and opportunities to everyone around the world by building an immutable, secure, decentralized platform for the transfer of value. The Ecosystem & Growth allocation is initially stewarded by the Scroll Foundation and will be eventually decentralized to Scroll DAO for distribution.

Within this allocation, 10% of the total token supply is specifically allocated to Scroll DAO Treasury, of which 20 million SCR will be unlocked at the launch of SCR for the Scroll DAO to utilize for funding important community initiatives, rewarding contributors and more in the first year. The remaining 80 million SCR will unlock over the next 4 years after the launch of SCR.

Recognizing that Binance is the world’s largest distribution platform for token assets, 5.5% of the total token supply is allocated to participate in Binance Launchpool and Pre-Market on the launch of the SCR, with the aim of broadening Scroll’s reach to users globally, including those who have untapped potential for more on-chain interactions. We also observe that many users and builders in growth economies rely on Binance P2P services. By collaborating with Binance, we are value-aligned to support the global community, particularly in the global south, by offering more accessible on-off ramp solutions.

Of the remaining 19.5% of the total token supply within the Ecosystem & Growth allocation, 25 million SCR will be available at the launch of SCR for distribution to value-aligned ecosystem partners and projects in the first year, and the rest will evenly unlock over the next 4 years after the launch of SCR.

Scroll Foundation Treasury - 10%

Scroll Foundation Treasury is allocated 10% of the total token supply. Within this total allocation, 20 million SCR will be unlocked at the launch of SCR to fund Scroll Foundation’s ongoing operations and activities for the first year. The remaining 80 million SCR will unlock over the next 4 years after the launch of SCR. Scroll Foundation’s main role is to serve as a steward of the Scroll DAO, guide the early stages of development of the Scroll DAO, and represent the interests of the Scroll community.

Scroll Core Contributors (Team, Future Team, and Advisors) - 23%

Scroll core contributors (comprised of the core team, future team, and advisors) are allocated 23% of the total token supply in recognition of their contribution to developing the protocol and surrounding technologies. Core contributors’ tokens are subject to a vesting schedule based on the service period. Vested tokens will start to unlock after the 1st year of the launch of SCR and will be fully unlocked by the end of the 4th year after the launch of SCR.

Investors - 17%

Scroll has been supported by a number of incredible investors, which made the Scroll project possible in the first place. Investors are allocated 17% of the total token supply, and these tokens start to unlock after the 1st year of the launch of SCR and will be fully unlocked by the end of the 4th year after the launch of SCR.
