We have an important announcement to share regarding our team. While the fundamental mission of Scroll remains completely unchanged, we are reorganizing our internal framework to better deliver on our promises.
Because our foundational infrastructure is fully mature, our strategic emphasis is transitioning toward broad distribution, widespread adoption, and putting Scroll into the hands of a much larger audience. This upcoming phase is all about crafting products that genuinely resonate with everyday users. To make this happen effectively, we need a leaner, highly execution oriented organization, and our updated structure provides the perfect foundation to achieve these goals.
As part of this transition, Raza is being elevated to the role of CEO at Up Labs, which functions as the primary operating entity behind Scroll. For the past 2 years, Raza has successfully spearheaded our growth efforts. This promotion directly acknowledges his exceptional past performance and represents a logical progression as our company objectives evolve.
Furthermore, Haichen, the CTO of Up Labs, is moving over to the Scroll Foundation to steer our long term technical vision. There, he joins Sandy, who has effectively held the position of director at the Foundation for the past 2 years and will continue her duties exactly as before. Both Sandy and Haichen will maintain a highly active presence across our ecosystem, partnering closely with the Up Labs team to help direct our practical execution.
We are incredibly excited for this next stage of our journey. Onward.
