Here’s some info that may help:
-
The Developer Advisory Board (DAB) provides technical guidance and limited review capacity … you can find more details here: OPerating-manual/Developer Advisory Board Charter v1.1.md at main · ethereum-optimism/OPerating-manual · GitHub
-
There’s the OP Grants Council that funds contributions aligning with Seasonal Intents. You can explore this and open grants on OP Atlas - https://atlas.optimism.io/
-
Yes, lots of “new” project ideas have been funded. They would need to align with the metrics and goals outlined at S8 Governance Fund Missions
-
Yes, this is also something that the DAB should be able to help with as mentioned above
Hope this helps. Thanks for your interest!
