Ohhh

November's ending but we're not done shipping. We're excited to share Epoch 10: Best of the Best. 🥳🎊 This epoch is going to be our second-last epoch before we fully transition to v2. So what's this epoch about and who's part of it? Let's get into it. 10 epochs are a lot. There's a LOT of work that goes on behind the scenes. One of the toughest parts about funding rounds is the application and review process. In fact, they often take up the most bandwidth. With that in mind, we've made the decision to shape this epoch a bit differently. This epoch, we've selected 25 projects who made it to our top 3 in each epoch. In cases where projects were repeated, we went with the next highest-ranked one. We also had to remove a few based on ineligibility criteria OR if the projects have officially shut down. Important dates for you as an Octant user: allocation window is 6 Jan - 26 Jan, 2026. And now for the incredible projects in this epoch. A BIG congrats to:

Octant v2 is finally here. Vaults public beta is now live.
