Let’s get into it. 👇🏽
1. Optimism RetroPGF #3 application closed; Updates
Optimism RetroPGF #3 application closed on the 23rd, of October.
Here are some things to note from the application close;
1596 projects and individuals applied.
Voting will take place November 6 - December 7, 2023.
145 admired badge holders will review and vote for the projects that align
Results and token Disbursement will Start in early January.
Total rewards 30M OP.
However, a significant portion of the applications appear to be spam or not in compliance with the Application Rules. To prevent overwhelming the voting process, an application review process has been implemented.
Applications that violate the rules will be excluded from the round, requiring at least 3 out of 5 Reviewers to vote in favor of exclusion.
If you’ve submitted your application either as an individual or a project and followed the due process, all you have to do is wait until the voting has ended to determine who will be getting funded.
You can follow up with the review results on this website built by RetroPGFHub.
