Everything about community-led grants, including how to get a grant. Or go straight to [Atlas](https://atlas.optimism.io/).

Great to discover this category! As a DAO governance researcher exploring the Optimism ecosystem, I’m particularly interested in understanding how community-led grants are evaluated for impact especially in areas like governance tooling, delegate support infrastructure, and cross-chain research.

The link to Atlas is very helpful. Looking forward to diving deeper into active grant proposals and contributing constructive feedback where I can.
