The projects name: Rigoblock
-
A description of how the project has supported development and usage of the OP Stack:
Rigoblock is a fully open source and free to use set of solidity smart contracts that facilitates the interaction with DeFi applications, live on Optimism since November 2022. Rigoblock liquidity has generated more than 50MM USD token swap volume on Ethereum mainnet. Our pools have been providing liquidity on Uniswap v3 on Optimism, including OP token pairs. Rigoblock’s GRG token has been airdropped to 9k wallets on Optimism.Work that helps builders create applications on Optimism mainnet:
- enabling any holder to use a cold key for moving tokens from/to a Rigoblock smart wallet and a “hot” key (that can be stored on i.e. a mobile wallet) for moving the tokens within said smart wallet, i.e. swaps, providing liquidity;
- enabling the organisation of groups of token holders under “umbrella” smart pools operated by a pool operator.
- deterministic proxy factory which seamlessly generates lightweight proxies with same-address on each chain (where it gets deployed).
- original approach to smart contract storage which prevents accidental storage collision between proxy and implementation, improving smart contract security, usable by any developer in their own protocol/application under the Apache2.0 License.
Work that helps builders use applications built on Optimism:
- minimizing the DeFi smart contract risk. Each time a wallet is required to set an allowance to an external application, the protocol approves the amount, executes the transaction and removes the allowance without clearing storage, avoiding unnecessary gas costs (i.e. approval abstraction);
- precompiling and batching multiple transactions. An Optimism user can send one transaction to its Rigoblock pool and execute multiple transactions on one (or many) external application simultaneously. This is also relevant for governance operations that require multiple transactions by a user, improving UX, which is particularly important for governance participation;
- a simple interface to interact with DeFi applications through Rigoblock.

The projects name: QuestBook
-
How the project has supported the development and usage of the OP Stack:
By enabling protocols to give out grants to competent builders in a transparent manner, Questbook has accelerated the growth of the Web3 ecosystem as well as the OP Stack.
Questbook is a decentralized grant management platform. The platform is open-sourced, transparent, and deployed on Optimism. All the grants on Questbook are given out on the OP Stack. That means, builders submitted their proposals, received reviews and community feedback, all via the Optimism Chain.
By using the tool,
-
Grant managers have created, reviewed, accepted, tracked, and facilitated grants worth $2.1M
-
1500+ Builders have applied for various grants, reported milestones and funding, and received feedback.
-
The entire grant flow on the tool is transparent, on-chain and accessible to the community.
Questbook has enabled protocols built on Optimism such as Aave, Perpetual, and Biconomy to give out grants to builders who will contribute to the OP Stack again.
The tool is currently being used by 20k+ builders, and $2.1m worth of grants have been facilitated. Questbook has also relaunched Compound Grants Program 2.0 as a community-run grants program, to disburse $1M to the builders.

I’m nominating rotki, a local-first, fully open source portfolio manager licensed under AGPL (meaning it’s free software, a public good).
Project name: rotki - open source portfolio tracker, accounting and analytics tool
A description of how the project has supported development and usage of the OP Stack: rotki used a Phase 1 grant to integrate Optimism into the app. The development has been completed and is ready for use on the develop branch, which will be released soon. As rotki is free and open source, anyone is free to build on top of it, or to re-use the code in their own software. This makes it an obvious fit for the first two areas of the scope of this category.
On top of that, the founder and CEO of rotki, @lefterisjp is a well-known and active member and contributor to the Optimism Community, one of the top 10 delegates of the Token House. His views and actions are well aligned with the Optimism Collective’s mission, and he puts them into practice in rotki’s architecture and development.
It’s important to note that even if someone is not an active Rotki user, it’s in their best interest to see Rotki used and developed, as it’s probably the only local portfolio tracker that puts user privacy and security ahead of fancy UX and catchy features. The fact that we have free, open source software integrated into our crypto infrastructure ensures that this infrastructure is still trustless and permissionless. Even if you don’t use a local portfolio manager right now, it’s important to be able to use it because it ensures that you can keep your data private and secure at all times, without relying on centralised services or intermediaries.

The projects name: Snapshot
A description of how the project has supported development and usage of the OP Stack: Snapshot has been used both by the Optimism Collective and 64 projects on Optimism to facilitate governance. All of these services have been provided for free, both for governance participants and the projects themselves. This has allowed Optimism to be the most active layer 2 in terms of governance and establish a strong ideological stance of decentralization and participative decision-making in the entire ecosystem. Snapshot allows projects to conduct votes that most of the people reading this forum have participated in.
Since the start of Optimism’s governance:
- 1.15M votes have been cast in the Optimism collective’s governance on 93 proposal.
- 88650 participants have voted, which means the average participant has voted 13 times on average, the highest number for any major DAO.

Mean Finance is a protocol that enables dollar-cost-averaging to certain crytocurrencies.
What is DCA? Dollar-cost averaging is the practice of systematically investing equal amounts of money at regular intervals, regardless of the price of the asset.
https://mean.finance/ allows users to DCA ERC20 tokens on Arbitrum, Matic, Optimism. Automatically.
https://twitter.com/mean_fi
Recently, Mean launched a yield-bearing-DCA program. This means users can earn yield on a DCA position.
I believe that this protocol, thanks to its solutions, will attract a large number of users.

The project name - rust-cannon-template
A description of how the project has supported development and usage of the OP Stack:
The Rust Cannon template is a kicking off point for developers who want to build and experiment with the provable execution layer of the OP stack. It makes it simple to compile Rust code to MIPs with helpers to read inputs, write outputs and access the pre-image oracle. The results of the execution of this code can be fraud-proven on-chain using the OP stack Solidity contracts. Currently Optimism only maintains a Golang stack part of the official Cannon repo.
This template came about as a side project from the 2022 EthBerlin hackathon. It has already been used in the DevCon hackathon (by a team I was part of) to build Zipline a Ethereum light-client bridge based on the OP stack which is seeing continued development. It is difficult to estimate how many developers have used the template so far but as of writing it has around 20 stars on Github.
Lowering the barrier to entry for developers to experiment with this part of the stack is important to encourage hacking and innovation going forward.

- The projects name: snekmate
-
A description of how the project has supported development and usage of the OP Stack: While there are plenty of Solidity libraries out there, very few people are working on high-quality and easy-to-integrate library-like Vyper code. In one sentence: snekmate are state-of-the-art, highly opinionated, hyper-optimised and secure Vyper smart contract building blocks. Not only does client diversity matter but also language diversity. Any Vyper-based project built on the OP Stack will probably use Snekmate under the hood mid-term. Or in other words, Snekmate helps Vyper builders to kick start on the OP Stack. The true power of the library will be unleashed once the library modules (VIP: Library Modules · Issue #2431 · vyperlang/vyper · GitHub) are released in Vyper. There it will be as simple as
import recover_sig from snekmate.ECDSA. At the moment the library is mainly maintained by pcaversaccio and some open-source contributors. - A link to the project’s GitHub or Twitter: GitHub - pcaversaccio/snekmate: State-of-the-art, highly opinionated, hyper-optimised, and secure 🐍Vyper smart contract building blocks.

• The projects name: Quix-NFT Market
• A description of how the project has supported development and usage of the OP Stack:
o Quix is the best and only NFT-market on Optimism that actually was handy and fun to buy NFTs at. Now that they have problems funding their further work. I think they deserve to be paid for their great work to continue further growth and development.
o A flourishing NFT market is important for the growth of every chain and I truly believe Quix has the potential to contribute to the Optimism ecosystem as a whole.
