See the [Season 7: Retro Funding Missions](https://gov.optimism.io/t/season-7-retro-funding-missions/9295) post and [Retro Funding Season 7 Governance Process](https://gov.optimism.io/t/retro-funding-season-7-governance-process/9564) post for relevant background information on Retro Funding Missions. Retro Funding: Dev Tooling rewards toolchain software, such as compilers, libraries and debuggers, that support builders in developing onchain applications on the Superchain. 1. **Timeline** : The program will take place from Feb 5th – July 31st. 2. **Application periods** : Apply by the monthly application deadline, and your project will be evaluated for rewards starting the following month. 3. **Grant delivery** : Rewards are delivered monthly, starting in March. 4. **Budget** : Up to 8M OP ### Eligibility In order to apply, your Dev Tooling project must first be added to OP Atlas [LINK]. A project can’t be considered for enrollment until its setup is complete. - All applications must verify ownership of GitHub repo(s) in OP Atlas. - JavaScript and Rust Packages must be published on package registries (e.g., npm or [crates.io](http://crates.io)) with their associated Github repo verified in OP Atlas. ### Rewards Impact will be rewarded based on the following criteria: 1. Adoption of Dev Tool by onchain builders 2. Importance of the tool in onchain application development 3. Features that support superchain interop adoption among builders Your impact will be measured via an evaluation algorithm powered by GitHub, npm, Crates, and Onchain data. The evaluation algorithm will evolve throughout this Retro Funding Mission based on feedback from Optimism badgeholders. ### Requirements All projects must be Open Source. They must have a public GitHub repository with a history of public commits. JavaScript and Rust Packages must be imported by at least three verified Superchain builder projects contributing 0.01 ETH in L2 gas fees within the past 6 months. Other Open Source Toolchains must meet these requirements to earn rewards: 1. Must have at least one release on GitHub within the past 6 months. 2. Must show engagement from 10+ trusted developers (e.g., stars, forks, issues, or pull requests) verified using reputation algorithms like OpenRank. ---

I have a question about the application process. The certification states: ‘I certify that no member of the team receiving the grant is a citizen or resident of Belarus, the Russian Federation, …’ Does this mean that a Russian or Belarus passport holder who is a resident of and lives in a country not listed here is still ineligible to participate? ---

@cdump we are unable to provide grants to residents of the following countries: **Cuba** **Belarus** **Democratic Republic of Congo** **Iran** **North Korea** **Russian Federation** **Syria** **Yemen** **The Crimea, Donetsk, or Luhansk regions of Ukraine** **Otherwise** , everything is good to claim ---

@[fujiar](https://gov.optimism.io/u/fujiar), can you please explain the term ‘resident’? If I was born in one of these countries, hold citizenship (a passport), but legally live in another country (which is not listed here), am I eligible to apply? ---

Our eligibility criteria is based on citizenship rather than current residence. Even if you legally reside in another country, if you hold citizenship (passport) from any of the restricted countries listed, we unfortunately cannot provide grants due to our compliance policies ---
