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](https://gov.optimism.io/t/mission-request-increase-prevalence-of-non-usd-euro-stablecoins/8951)** 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.
