Anthias Labs is proposing to remove the May 1, 2024 deployment date requirement for eligibility for this Mission Request. After the first few cycles of Season 6, we have seen multiple worthy and valuable candidates that are ineligible for this MR because they launched on Optimism after May 1, 2024.
This May 1, 2024 clause was originally added to this MR in order to block protocols from deploying to Optimism solely to receive the incentives. However, we now see this behavior as highly unlikely, and, additionally, there are alternative ways to block this behavior, including scoring the long-term viability and Optimism-alignment of the project as a whole.
The specific changes we propose for this MR:
Original-1:
This incentive program is intended to encourage organizational users (e.g. DAOs) on Optimism as of May 1, 2024 to diversify their onchain asset holdings on Optimism.

Original-2:
A process for organizations present on Optimism as of May 1, 2024 to apply for the subsidy, which includes easy verification by the Grants Council (or its designated agent) of the amount of the subsidy.
