gm, governance fam. Our second governance call of the year is scheduled for today, January 28th.
With Season 7 governance elections now wrapped up we will be covering what is to come in season 7 and Jonas will provide us with an update on RetroFunding as it relates to the governance process
Applications for “user incentive initiatives” open on January 30 with the Grants Council—so mark your calendars and start preparing!
This is: projects that have a plan to grow TVL across the Superchain utilizing user incentives grants (in OP).
→ List of chains that qualify for these user incentives (S7 Eligibility column): Superchain Index | Superchain Eco
Two key missions: On-Chain Builders and Developer Tooling, each with a significant 8 million OP budget.
New evaluation algorithms are being introduced to improve how we evaluate contributions, with monthly iteration cycles to refine the process.
