Growth Experiments Grant: Optimism OAT Subsidization on Galxe - Cycle 11

[katie]

Hello and thank you for your proposal! Throughout the application process, this forum thread will be one of the official means of communication. Please be sure to monitor it for updates over the course of the review period.

At this stage, applications are mainly being reviewed for completeness, and nothing at this stage should be construed as support or opposition by any members of the Grants Council.

@Galxe

Please provide benchmark milestones for this project. These milestones should guide the Optimism community on the progress of your project throughout your work on the project. Do not use distribution of the grant itself as a milestone:

A benchmark milestone should be measured against the BNB and Polygon OATs that include a number of protocols leveraging the OAT, non-native OP protocols using the OAT, the number of users minting the Optimism OAT, and achieving a top erc-721 contract position on Optimism.

Please define critical milestones for this project. Critical milestones are meant to show good-faith efforts to accomplish the project. Non-completion of these milestones could lead to revocation of remaining grant rewards. Do not use distribution of the grant itself as a milestone:

Critical milestones will be similar to benchmark milestones. Critical milestones will be positioned towards the adoption of the Optimism OAT, growth of the Optimism NFT ecosystem, and growth/retention of the Optimism ecosystem.

Can you please elaborate on this and provide measurable milestones and timelines. This post provides additional clarity related to milestones.
