I’m pleased to announce that all milestones for Cycle 28 have been accomplished on time, despite some reviewers managing Retro Funding 5 votes and others preparing for Retro Funding 6 sign-ups.
Key Statistics:
- Total Applications Received: 53
- Passed Preliminary Review: 41
- Passed Final Review: 32
- Approved Applications: 8
A special congratulations to Mint Blockchain for securing a Superchain grant this cycle
Looking Ahead:
- A new mission request has already been approved by the Grants Council and is now open for applications.
- With the last mission request approved, the entire budget for the season is allocated, so there will be no further rolling mission requests this season.
We’d like to thank the Foundation OPs Team for their invaluable support in enabling rolling mission requests and to the Govnerds for providing assistance during the vote periods—your support ensured everything ran smoothly.
