Airdrop Scroll (SCR) is expected to take place in the next few weeks, and on-chain research shows that the distribution of points (marks) may lean towards protocol wallets and addresses associated with the project team.
Scroll (SCR) has prioritized whale wallets and addresses associated with the development team in the distribution of airdrop points or 'marks' in its protocol. Although Scroll has not publicly disclosed this allocation policy, not all team wallets are participating in the airdrop. However, due to unfair airdrops in the past, such as the case of ZKSync (ZK), monitoring these wallets has become necessary.
The expectation is that Scroll will reward active users in the ecosystem. However, the presence of whale wallets and partner-related addresses may create an unfair advantage in the distribution of marks.
The Scroll team has allocated 23% of the total supply for contributors, which raises concerns about the ability of groups to dominate the airdrop. The total token supply dedicated to the public airdrop is 15%, divided into two phases. The Scroll Foundation also retains 10% of the token supply.
Like other airdrops, Scroll only encourages activities without clear token distribution methods. A snapshot for the airdrop will take place this weekend, and the SCR claiming process will begin on October 22.
According to the unofficial allocation chart, the Scroll airdrop may resemble the Starknet or Polyhedra airdrops, with allocation limits for specific categories. The airdrop is expected to distribute 70,000 SCR tokens to 2.5 million users. Most of the qualifying activities have been completed in the past months, leaving little time for new users.
The airdrop will be calculated based on 300 million marks distributed to 800,000 eligible addresses. The unofficial ratio for the airdrop is expected to be 0.06 SCR per mark. Despite the airdrop, Scroll will still have a large portion of tokens held by early investors and contributors, creating an imbalance between retail users and investors.
The Scroll Airdrop may be distributed linearly, allocating SCR based on the accumulated marks. User X Andrey_10gwei reported that dozens of addresses related to the Scroll founding team have received airdrop marks ranging from tens of thousands to millions. Currently, the Scroll Airdrop has not officially taken place, and it is not yet possible to confirm whether these suspected internal team addresses are eligible to receive the airdrop.
In response to these allegations, Sandy, a key contributor to Scroll, stated that all co-founders and team members involved in developing features and functions for Scroll or the airdrop will not receive the airdrop. This ensures fairness and no information advantage.
Additionally, Scroll relies on auxiliary applications as bridges for its activities. The top 200 eligible wallets received 40 million marks, but it is unclear whether these applications have been allocated. These applications play a crucial role in handling the large inbound and outbound traffic to Scroll, giving them an advantage over individual users with smaller tasks.
Scroll has operated as a token-less protocol for a long time and announced the airdrop quite late. However, on-chain L2 metrics have increased rapidly, reflecting users' efforts to qualify for SCR before the airdrop.
Scroll has just reached an All-Time-High of 740,000 transactions in 24 hours. The number of active addresses has also increased to 120,000 per day, although not yet reaching a previous record. Transaction throughput on Scroll has also increased, indicating a rise in more complex transactions.

The Total Value Locked on Scroll has surpassed $1.5 billion, according to growthepie.xyz, although defillama reports a figure of around $981.38 million. Activity on Scroll is primarily driven by the use of Aave V3 and native applications like Pencils Protocol and Tokan Exchange, with over 41% of activity in DeFi and nearly 14% from simple token transfers.
Scroll is aiming to become a comprehensive utility chain, not just tied to a specific application, but supporting various Web3 features, including Non-Fungible Tokens and SocialFi.
The recent surge in activity also coincides with the lowest fees paid on Ethereum. Scroll is currently the fifth-largest blob uploader on Ethereum, driving upload activity in recent days.
