Scroll, the decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) behind an Ethereum layer-2 network, is taking significant cost-cutting measures following the migration of its leading decentralized application, Ether.fi, to the Optimism network. This migration resulted in a staggering loss of nearly $160 million in total value locked (TVL) and $13 million in annualized fees. In response, Scroll plans to dissolve its Security Council, citing its high operational costs as unjustified given its usage. The organization will also lay off several contributors and reduce the capacity of its operational committees. The transition of control to an internal team is anticipated to be completed within the next 10 days, pending support from the current council. Furthermore, Scroll faced scrutiny for artificially inflating its network fees by 1,280 times for a brief period, leading to over $50,000 in excess costs for users. This adjustment was rolled back shortly after, but it raised concerns about the network's fee structure and demand dynamics.
