Collective Trust Tiers

Collective Trust Tiers are the very first step towards establishing a connection between one’s positive impact in the ecosystem and access to different types of work, grants, and roles within the Collective. Over time, Trust Tiers will become more robust as they incorporate Attestations and impact scores derived from one’s activity in the ecosystem.

This is the first iteration of Collective Trust Tiers, which we will run as an experiment in Season 4. Both Tiers and their criteria are subject to change based on feedback. If continued for future Seasons, they may be ratified by the Token House. Over time, we expect Tiers to be based on Collectively agreed upon trust scores, calculated using Attestations.

Initially, Trust Tiers will be used to:

  • Establish transparent standards for contribution and grant eligibility, specifically:
    • Determining appropriate grant sizes for grants made by the Grants Council
    • Determining funding eligibility for different Alliances proposing Missions
    • Specifying which Alliances may apply for Foundation Missions (RFPs)
  • Help people understand the types of contributions (and, over time, Attestations) we think are important for establishing the basis of reputation in the Collective

Looks really cool - a great way to continuously reward the teams building on Optimism, especially those with a history of contribution to the ecosystem.

For the difference between Eagle and the Phoenix tier: are the bullets conditional for Phoenix?

As it reads now there doesn’t seem to be much difference between these two tiers (esp. the first lines.) At quick glance, it looks like they both require more than 50k OP funding from the retroPGF rounds.

Phoenix just allows for greater funding.

If Phoenix is conditional - it requires RetroPGF funding greater than 50,000 OP AND falls into one of the outlined categories that may make more sense.

But still a bit confused as many of these proposed categories were ineligible for retroPGF funding.

TLDR: Seems to be an exciting concept, just need more clarity around Phoenix vs. Eagle tiers.

Thanks for flagging, have updated the Phoenix Tier to better clarify the difference between Eagle.

“But still a bit confused as many of these proposed categories were ineligible for retroPGF funding.”

The criteria stipulate that a project may qualify for a tier if they’ve done work for the Optimism Collective before (including via Token House or Partner Fund grant) OR they have received RetroPGF but they do not need to have done both (it’s not an AND statement.)

Please let us know if still unclear :slight_smile:
