Amazing work folks! love that this is metrics-based. that way the math speaks for itself!

We started developing end of March 2024 and of course we cant meet all the criteria, just think about it. How do you want to get and motivate new builders? The second one, how you can use your metrics for the dapps using builder ideas with AttestationStation ( Attestation-Based Dapp Rating System)? We are only using attestation and schema registry contracts to create schemas and make attestations and dont need our own smart contracts. Would appreciate, if you clarify this points. Thank you.

This is a good initiative, I believe this will allow all devs and onchain contributors to get rewarded! Hopefully the platforms onboarding onchain contributors get rewarded too

It seems like from the current wording of this that the focus is on dApps and ignoring other Onchain builders?
Such as wallets which are one of the main Onchain builders and cover a bunch of topics such as:
- Demand generated for Optimism Blockspace
- Interactions from repeat Optimism users
- Interactions from Optimism users with high trust scores
- Interactions of new Optimism users
How will wallets be supported or other Onchain builders that cover these topics if there are no smart contracts? Seem like you are excluding one of the largest category of platforms that support Optimism, which without wallets there would be no smart contracts to interact with, transacting and users on Optimism.

Builidng a smart contract explorer as a side quest: https://next-js-explorer-sigma.vercel.app/contracts/0x40F320CD3Cd616E59599568c4eA011E2eE49a175
Blockscout api provides data on gas usage and transaction count. Other solutions like etherscan are not as transparent.
I have further contacted Blockscout team and asked to implement explicit pagination on transactions so the transaction data becomes more easily accessible.
For those of us relying on EAS to make attestations, how are we supposed to apply if we havenāt deployed our own smart contracts?
For example, Iām developing an attestation-based app rating system, which is featured on the Optimism contributions site (Attestation-Based Dapp Rating System). However, I would be stumped at the signup form because I am not the ādeployerā of the smart contract since I rely on the Ethereum Attestation Service.
Note: this issue seems to affect all projects that are building onchain using EAS.

What are the dates considered for the metrics based evaluation?
Is the cutoff May 1, or will the evaluation consider transactions beyond May 1 through some date in the future?
If the evaluation includes metrics beyond May 1, will āv2ā or factory deployed contracts contribute in aggregate to a projectās metrics?
I have some planned changes for my project (that I hope will increase demand for blockspace). But if those contracts would not contribute to my metrics in the same way my current deployments do, then I would be in a difficult position deciding whether to deploy them and improve the project versus waiting in order to maximize my likelihood of receiving retro funding.
Hello everyone. Iām new here, reading this type of information helps me understand more about the collective, but I have some questions based on what I read.
-
It is mentioned:
Currently, the total collective contributions 3 (from the protocolās surplus income) do not reach what is needed to sustain the retroactive financing of public goods.
When they say Collective Contributions 3. Do they mean what specifically? -
What is the KYC Process? Where is the KYC section?
Thank you.

Hi Kamy,
I just wanted to clarify, Retro Funding as such in the future will depend on the excess income of the protocol as a source of rewards. Currently, the total collective contributions (from the protocolās surplus income) do not meet what is needed to sustain the retroactive financing of public goods.
KYC is an identity verification process, it means the validation process of the peopleĀ“s identity, in this case the builders who are participating in the retroactive fund need to make the KYC process. Some use cases, such as signing documents, completing identity questions, etc.
Hope it has been useful. Any other questions, let me know.
Regards!

Hey Sammy, hope youĀ“re doing well!.
Here you have the key dates that you project needs to have:
- Deployed their onchain contracts on one or multiple of the following OP chains: OP Mainnet, Base, Zora, Mode, Frax and Metal, and meet the following criteria:
- Onchain contracts have interactions from 420 unique addresses during Jan 1st - May 1st 2024
- Onchain contracts had their first transaction before April 1st 2024
- Onchain contract had more than 10 days of activity during Jan 1st - May 1st 2024
It means that can just participate the projects with Onchain contracts deployed before May 1st 2024.
But it doesnĀ“t mean that you canĀ“t continues developing your project., you can still building because Optimism have another type of financial proograms called āGrantsā and itĀ“s coming up the next season and it could be a good way to keep building ;). Also you have another ways for finding like Gitcoin and Giveth.

thanks! im not sure this really answers my question, maybe i can clarify.
What you list here are some cutoff dates as requirements. But the first post mentions that the season
I have a project that meets all of these requirements and is continuing to have onchain transactions. My understanding is that this round will be judged by some automated means of evaluating onchain metrics - I provide contract addresses and the Metrics Based Evaluation computes a score, where weight for metrics are voted on by Badgeholders.
So, given the desire to maximize my score -
-
Do transactions after May 1 contribute to the metrics-based evaluation?
-
If they do, are the requirements you listed applied to all of my contracts, or considered in aggregate under a larger āprojectā umbrella?
I have ContractVersion1 that is deployed and meets all of the requirements. I want to replace it with ContractVersion2. I want to do this to improve my project, but if it hurts my score (by not having txs before April 1) then I will wait until the metrics-based evaluation is complete.
Thanks Lili, now I get it.

Hello all!
I have a specific question here:
When does May 1st 2024 cut off date, did it end on May 1 at 11.59PM (just before turning May 2nd) or did it end on the first minute of May 1, 2024?
The reason why I ask is that our dApp QuantumFair (OP gov post link) we raffled off ~$1,000 worth of velodrome veNFT with the expiration on May 1st 11.59PM (UTC).
So we had TX up until that last hours of May 1st, as people purchased tickets (made tx) in the raffle. But my concern is, are those 24 hours of May 1st counted towards the 420 unique addresses or are we SOL? In any event, we shoulda asked before setting the raffle deadline of May 1st lol, so fault is on us.
If anyone can clarify this point, weād greatly appreciate it 
Thank you!
Hey Sammy,
Only contracts that have been deployed before April 1st qualify, but impact is considered til June. These dates are the application filter, but your project can continue to have more interactions without problem.
i strongly require rewards for reporter in application review process because there will be many rpgf farmers
guys,stop sybiling in rpgf or all my braincells gone,let us focus on framing normal airdrop instead of plundering the allocation of others projects

Itād be beneficial for there to be a small pool for newer promising projects to compete for, making RF accessible and welcoming to them.
@MaximeServais EAS attestations are not in scope for this round. We will explore how EAS can be included in future rounds, or how EAS could facilitate their own rounds.

Hi, regarding the requirement for a Github Repo, can this be waved for Onchain Art /NFT projects? We generally stick to decentralized protocols/launchpads when creating contracts. (Have 3 popular collections on the Superchain) I imagine there may be some other projects that contribute to onchain activity but donāt meet this requirement.
In many ways we promote tech by working closely with other projects. Recently we created a Liquid NFT project on Base that will be the first to deploy on Liquidify v3, for example.

I have faced a bunch of issues with obtaining the data from blockscout, please share your tips and tricks on how you query the data from blockchain.
