RetroPGF Round 3 Feedback Thread

Retro Funding 🔴
111

Hi :wave: @Michael … We love the the idea of paying a few OP or having the ability to allow someone else to stake OP in your favor for eligibility with a rather low threshold.

Here are a few other options we cooked up.

  1. The integration of KarmaHQ delegation dashboard & their new platform GAP aka the Grantee Accountability Protocol. Between governance participation being recorded onchain and track records from previous grant funding history a prerequisite could also be made for certain criteria to enter into RetroPGF.

Gitcoin has already implemented the use of this mechanism which includes making attestations for milestones related to grant funding amongst a variety of blossoming public goods funding ecosystems. Many of which users already cross pollinated over from the Optimism collective and back to RPGF3 such as Nouns grants prop house. :house_with_garden:

Every grantee who receives RPGF of course is not obligated to do anything with the rewards from our understanding. Meaning they can spend the money on whatever they want.

It would be interesting to see how many projects from the most recent round 3 or previous rounds are willing to report on the GAP to ensure that others have a transparent way of seeing what the OP goes towards.

This is something that we have taken the initiative to do ourselves from the previous RetroPGF 2 funds our project received.

  1. Hypercerts are another type of impact certificate that we have used in the Gitcoin ecosystem to help report impact that has been made. From my understanding this will be utilized during the next round of Gitcoin to serve as a way to provide another tier of visibility for impact makers in the space beyond impact recorded with attestations via GAP by KarmaHQ.
  1. Curia Hub is something I certainly thought :thought_balloon: would have been utilized a lot more in the process for governance participation in the RPGF review process.

Both KarmaHQ & Curia are funded by Optimism grants so that seems like :+1: a very big opportunity to integrate these systems vertically across the board. More layers of data :bar_chart: & information that is readily available at the fingertips of the badge holders will simplify the decision making process when allocating retroactive funds. Seeing as how Optimism’s RetroPGF program is aimed at the technical aspects of blockchain this just feels right to utilize a wide variety of tools to enhance the fairness of the process. Taking away the social media driven approach in the next round should definitely :100: be a prioritization for RPGF.
