Scroll’s ZKScam 2.0? Founders and Team Wallets Under Scrutiny for Airdrop Marks
Hey CryptoPM Fam,
The crypto community is no stranger to controversies, and today we're diving into one surrounding the much-anticipated Scroll airdrop. There’s growing speculation that team wallets are accumulating marks in a way that could spell trouble for the community once the airdrop happens. Let’s break it down and follow the trail.
Is Scroll pulling off a ZKScam 2.0?
It’s been uncovered that key team members at Scroll may be distributing marks to their wallets. This is not just speculation—there's data to back it up, and I’ll provide evidence of these wallets holding anywhere from 10k to over 1 million marks. 📊
Let’s start by analyzing the founder’s wallet, haichen.eth or wallet
0xb2547d996a5c8fd0a72409e8d3bbfd2807224592
belonging to Scroll co-founder Shen Haichen.

According to Arkham, this wallet is a signer of the Gnosis Safe “Scroll: Fundraise.” While it didn’t farm marks, it provides us a lead on how the team might be managing funds.

look at Wallet1:

0x4721cf824b6750B58d781fD1336D92a082704C7A

This wallet was first funded from the founder's wallet, across multiple networks. Arkham also links it to the Scroll team (with a question mark), but with 43.5k marks, the connection seems clear.
Wallet2:

0x1e4c8489F9d876293C36b730107E89e0F2a0CB04

This wallet received funds from Wallet1 and holds a staggering 1 million+ marks. Two transactions caught my eye—an "Approve" and "Supply" of 500k USDC to AAVE back in February.
Wallet3:

0x4852FFA873c471Abd92696DB3041D298e2710c4E

Another team-related wallet funded from both the founder's and Wallet1. It holds 13k marks.
Wallet4:

0xbdA143d49da40C2cDA27c40edfBbe8A0D4AE0cBc

A smart contract wallet connected to scrup.eth, also linked to the team. There’s a transfer of around 100 ETH from Wallet1, and it’s holding 63.9k marks.
Wallet5:

0xDf61edCc0659565F1B4A11A20397be99006a3d85

This wallet, linked to Wallet4, was also sponsored by Wallet1. Another 35k marks here.
Wallet6:

0xc65C94019F4c5a386ecd6e984753742aBe228aFd

Yet another wallet linked by a transaction with Wallet1, holding 50k marks.
Now, moving on to another founder’s wallet: Peng.eth or
0x52F9a67Fd05AdCb0B5480Bf8FEb944aA588316ED,
linked to Sandy Peng.

Arkham confirms this wallet too, but no marks are found here.
But let’s talk about Wallet7:

0x7440e1407f95F33206Fb72464A63cd54B2eE6282 or carlboi.eth

This one’s holding 96.8k marks and is linked by multiple transactions with Sandy Peng’s wallet.
There are also smaller wallets, like:

0xdEF5610eC04DEc77D52E6F2caBff18635477aaCF with 4k marks
0x0a246FE10294E0E9cA1DD4AA1433fa64b0B42bAD with 4k marks
Both are tied to Wallet1.

Additionally, there’s a Dune dashboard showing the top 200 wallets collectively holding 40 million marks.

Some of the biggest holders include project wallets like L0, Orbiter, and Rhino.fi, which are critical for running their bridge contracts.

These wallets typically handle hundreds of thousands of transactions.
So, what’s the issue?
An airdrop hasn't happened yet, and we don’t know if project and team wallets will be eligible. But if marks are distributed linearly, including team wallets, this could lead to major FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) in the community.
@Scroll team, this is your moment to step up. Excluding project and team wallets from the airdrop would be the right move to ensure fairness and reduce the potential for community backlash.
What do you think, fam? Is Scroll on the path to ZKScam 2.0, or can they make things right? 🔍
