I believe Scroll can become a gateway to a more fair and decentralized internet.

1) A brief intro

My name is Alex Soto, and I’ve dedicated the last decade to helping teams and communities organize themselves to make better decisions, especially in contexts where power asymmetries get in the way of shared purpose.

I work at the intersection of governance, human development, and collective intelligence. I started as a facilitator, helping organizations shift from rigid hierarchies to dynamic and inclusive models of decision-making. My practice is rooted in sociocracy, Nonviolent Communication, and liberating structures; tools that bring coherence and care into how we collaborate.

In recent years, I’ve extended my work into Web3, helping communities design governance models that promote trust, participation, and shared ownership. I’m particularly interested in the psychological and cultural aspects of coordination: how people feel safe enough to speak, how we handle disagreement, and how we reward behaviors that support the commons, not just efficiency or profit.

As a Latinx delegate with a non-technical background, I’m deeply aware of how biases around language, culture, and credentials can marginalize important voices. I see my role as a bridge, not only between disciplines, but between people who share a common goal but speak very different "languages."

I believe protocols like Scroll need both: solid technical foundations and inclusive governance cultures that welcome diverse forms of contribution and intelligence.

2) A message to the community and ecosystem

I’m here to act in good faith, stay curious, and serve the long-term interests of Scroll as a public good.

I believe in Scroll’s commitment to Progressive Decentralization, not as a checkbox, but as a continuous effort to broaden participation and increase resilience. That requires both structure and humility: structure to ensure quality and coherence; humility to learn, adapt, and listen.

My governance philosophy is rooted in the idea that everyone holds a piece of the truth — and that sustainable decisions come not from dominance, but from dialogue. That is why I will always:

• Vote with transparency, sharing clear reasoning behind every decision I make.
• Avoid conflicts of interest, and disclose any potential concerns proactively.
• Prioritize long-term resilience over short-term popularity.
• Hold space for disagreement, treating all perspectives with respect and civility.
• Encourage experimentation, especially when it allows new voices and regions to engage.
• Abstain when I don’t have enough context, trusting that thoughtful silence is better than uninformed noise.

I’m not here to impose a vision, but to cultivate the conditions where more people can shape it.

In particular, I care about:

• Inclusive participation — making sure people from the Global South, non-technical contributors, and early-stage experimenters have a seat at the table.
• Resource allocation that rewards risk-takers and caretakers, not just revenue generators.
• Protocols that remain legible to human beings, not just optimized for machines.

For me, the Open Economy it’s about ownership; and the way we relate to each other through technology.

I want to see Scroll thrive not just as an L2, but as a community where professional knowledge and deep integrity go hand in hand. A place where curiosity is not a slogan, but a living practice that nurtures the regenerative practices.

Final Note

I’m honored to receive any delegations from those whoa lso believe Scroll can become more than just infrastructure, but a place where our best collective selves can show up. If at any point I can’t hold that responsibility with integrity, I’ll step aside with care in my heart.

Let’s build this together frens, with rigor, kindness, and curiosity.
