Having seen this question, I think there’s a lot I could have wanted to answer, and I’m happy to share it with you all!
What projects are eligible for Round 5 of retrofunding?
There are three categories that can be rewarded in Retro Funding 5: Op stacks
Ethereum Core Contributions,OP Stack Research & Development,OP Stack Tooling
These projects include Op stack or Op stack-dependent infrastructure, contributions that directly contribute to Op stack upgrades or protocol upgrades, Op stack deployment or testing tools.
I think projects like solidity, hardhat, etc. can apply in this round and deserve to be rewarded.

What is the main experiment for Round 5 of retrofunding?
For the first time, guest experts were brought in to participate in the scoring of Retro Funding, which was a departure from previous designs, and I’m all for the idea!
Unlike previous Retro Funding rounds, Op stack rounds need to be judged by experts who have contributed to the op stack, which is a much more accurate criterion, and I think opening up the guest voter is a good thing.
