Scroll recebeu fortes críticas desde que divulgou sua alocação de lançamento aéreo. A maior parte da reação veio de sua comunidade por causa da decisão do projeto de alocar 5,5% do fornecimento de tokens SCR para o pool de lançamento da Binance .
A mudança fez com que muitos dos primeiros apoiadores de Scroll se voltassem contra o projeto. Os primeiros adotantes esperavam um tratamento mais favorável após suas atividades no ecossistema Scroll nos últimos dois anos.
Apenas 7% do total de 1 bilhão de tokens alocados para a primeira rodada de lançamentos aéreos irão para os primeiros usuários. Por outro lado, os usuários Binance podem reivindicar uma parcela substancial apostando no BNB em apenas alguns dias.
A decisão da Scroll de alocar tanto para o lançamento Binance deixou muitos de seus primeiros apoiadores se sentindo marginalizados. Segundo os críticos, o projecto dobrou os joelhos ao sistema que favorece os grandes detentores e as bolsas centralizadas, o que é uma contradição directa do espírito descentralizado do projecto.
Desde que a notícia da distribuição se espalhou, o X (antigo Twitter) ficou cheio de usuários expressando frustração. Eles sentem que todos os seus esforços para apoiar a Scroll não foram recompensados, especialmente dadas as pesadas taxas de interação que incorreram ao longo do tempo.
Além da insatisfação geral com a alocação, o projeto também adiou a obtenção do instantâneo dos usuários elegíveis até 19 de outubro. Isso deixou muitos preocupados com a possibilidade de o lançamento aéreo se tornar ainda mais diluído à medida que mais participantes chegassem no último minuto.
Não acho que fazer parceria com Binance seja “ajoelhar-se diante de uma CEX para listagem” – é muito mais do que isso, é uma decisão estratégica para construir uma parceria para crescimento e suporte mais amplo. No entanto, é realmente uma decisão difícil. Aqui estão alguns dos meus pensamentos:

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.
