This proposal requests $30,000 USD in funding for a 3-month pilot phase to establish a mobile Local Community Scroll Node in Mexico, operating via the “Urbanika” bus. This initiative aims to be a dynamic, hyper-local operational arm of Scroll, traveling across Mexico to source, onboard, and support founders and Web3 builders. Support will be delivered through a hybrid Venture Studio/Grant-Prep model, providing intensive mentorship and workshops via a hybrid (online/IRL) cohort program facilitated by a network of national allies. This program does not involve taking equity. Instead, participants commit to building mainly within the Scroll ecosystem for at least one year post-program. Success will be measured by the number of Mexican teams joining Open Zero and Open Campus, as well as the number of Mexican teams receiving grants. Additional metrics to measure are contributions to the Scroll network growth (TVL, Transactions, MAUs). The primary expected outcome is the successful launch of a pilot cohort, demonstrating a viable model for talent onboarding and ecosystem growth for Scroll in Mexico, with measurable results within the 3-month timeframe.
