WakeUp LabsCracking the Code: How Velora Epochs Distribute Rewards and Refunds
Velora’s Epochs are more than just a date on the governance calendar, they are the engine room of the protocol’s incentive system.Every four weeks, the DAO turns on a finely tuned mechanism that channels protocol fees back to the community, rewarding commitment, contribution, and activity. Built and maintained by WakeUp Labs, this system leverages PSP 2.0’s Social Escrow model and the automation upgrades introduced in PIP-55 to run with precision, transparency, and minimal manual intervention...
WakeUp LabsStylus in 2025 & the First DevConnect Stylus Gathering
Throughout 2025, Arbitrum Stylus world growth y Toward the end of the year, we had our first stylus oriented gathering where several speakers presented the projects they’ve been building. It turned out to be a great meetup that brought together most of the builders in the ecosystem. We’re glad it happened, and we’re excited to keep moving forward on this path, making smart contracts faster, more performant and more efficient, while opening the door for more developers to use these tools.

WakeUp Labs is developing a refined Impact Evaluation Framework for the Optimism ecosystem. The project aims to align both existing and new frameworks, gathering and presenting information in a simple, accessible way. As the Seasons evolve, this framework will provide clearer access to retro grant data through improved interfaces, empowering the community to better recognize impactful contributions.
This mission centers on updating the existing Impact Evaluation Framework, refining it through collaboration with key stakeholders, including Badgeholders and RetroPGF applicants. The project also involves creating a user-friendly, interactive, open-source website that will allow contributors to assess the significance of their efforts and gather information about the Retro. This will help the community gauge the real impact of contributions on Optimism, driving more meaningful engagement and simplifying the information.
In our first milestone, we completed a comprehensive research document that analyzes voting methodologies and identifies key areas for improvement. Through interviews with Badgeholders and a detailed evaluation of the existing workflow, we’re laying the groundwork to make impact evaluation more accessible and effective for both evaluators and project applicants.
For more details on our journey so far, check out the project outline here.
Milestone Completed: Research and Framework Update
Our research phase has been a critical step in developing the refined framework. We’ve identified opportunities to streamline the RetroPGF process by improving evaluation criteria, optimizing workflows, and making it easier for both Badgeholders and applicants to engage with the system. This milestone marks the completion of foundational research, and we’re now moving forward with building out the interactive interface and implementing the insights we’ve gathered.
For a deeper dive into our findings, you can read the full research document here:

We’re simultaneously working on several milestones, including developing the interface, setting evaluation criteria, and hosting community engagement sessions. Our goal is to make the impact evaluation process more transparent, accessible, and effective for the entire community.
As we achieve each milestone, we’ll continue to keep you updated. Stay connected with us through social media to follow our progress!
