Scroll 自发布空投分配以来就受到了严厉批评。大部分强烈反对来自其社区,因为该项目决定将 5.5% 的 SCR 代币供应分配给Binance的启动池。
此举使得 Scroll 的许多早期支持者反对该项目。这些早期采用者在过去两年在 Scroll 生态系统中开展活动后,期望获得更优惠的待遇。
第一轮空投分配的 10 亿枚代币中,只有 7% 会流向早期采用者。另一方面,Binance用户可以通过在短短几天内质押BNB来获得大量份额。
Scroll 决定向Binance发行池分配如此多的资金,这让许多早期支持者感到被边缘化。批评者认为,该项目向有利于较大持有者和中心化交易所的系统屈服,这与该项目的去中心化精神直接矛盾。
自从分配的消息传出后,X(以前的 Twitter)上就充满了表达不满的用户。他们觉得他们支持 Scroll 的所有努力都没有得到回报,特别是考虑到他们随着时间的推移而产生的巨额互动费用。
除了对分配的普遍不满外,该项目还将合格用户的快照推迟到 10 月 19 日。这让许多人担心,随着更多的参与者在最后一刻涌入,空投可能会变得更加稀释。
我不认为与Binance合作是“向 CEX 跪下上市”——远不止于此,这是建立合作伙伴关系以实现增长和更广泛支持的战略决策。然而,这确实是一个艰难的决定。以下是我的一些想法:

Following the backlash, Ye Zhang, one of the founders of Scroll, took to his X profile to address community concerns.
According to Zhang, the partnership with Binance is not just for listing purposes; it is also a strategic move to expand and secure broader market support.
Zhang pointed out how critical Binance’s entry and exit services are for stablecoins in emerging markets. He used Africa as an example of such a market, claiming that Binance has a better reputation and is more widely used than Ethereum in the continent.
In his words: “When I visited Africa, I saw that everyone was using Binance – it holds even stronger legitimacy for many locals than Ethereum.”
Zhang also stated that the 5.5% allocation of tokens for the Binance launchpool will come out of the ecosystem and growth budget meaning that it will not detract from the community airdrop pool. He also highlighted how Scroll reserves a significant portion of tokens for community rewards.
To avoid unfair advantages for large investors, Scroll also implemented a purchase limit of 2,500 SCR per user during the pre-market phase. This is supposed to ensure broader distribution among potential holders and emphasizes the project’s commitment to long-term community engagement and growth.
Sandy, a Scroll “core contributor” on X, also addressed the issue. According to a post from the page, the partnership with Binance is an attempt to adapt to current market conditions and strengthen the project’s competitive position.
For us, Binance is more than just a listing, it's the best channel to reach global distribution, it will open the on-ramp and off-ramp channels and help us grow to the next stage, especially in emerging markets.
ETH deposits and withdrawals on Scroll are now live on Binance,…

They hope the partnership with Binance will provide Scroll with a broad base of investors and essential infrastructure support.
The Scroll airdrop will take center stage in the coming days, after which its primary focus will shift to making progress on Scroll’s tech roadmap and ecosystem building.
Since its launch in 2017, Binance has established a dominant position in the token market. It has become sort of the “holy land” for projects hoping to appear more legitimate to investors.
Projects that secure a listing on Binance are often viewed as more credible. It is almost like a seal of approval that also provides the tokens with increased market exposure.
Binance’s influence has projects feeling FOMO and pressured to get the exchange’s endorsement for wider recognition. Somehow, it maintained its dominance in the token markets, even with CZ’s exit and subsequent imprisonment.
However, some issues have been popping up regarding this FOMO. For example, there have been comments on social media from netizens who believe that Binance now lists any project, including those that aren’t the best for investment.
There are also complaints about how projects allow Binance to negotiate better arrangements for its users, sometimes at the expense of the project and token supporters.
This exact scenario is playing out with Scroll, and the situation has caused friction and further concerns about preferential treatment for Binance over grassroots community interests.
