As a leading onchain media platform focused on music, we’re helping lay the foundations for music culture across the Optimism collective.
Our podcasts, clips, and newsletters cover the industry’s latest, from new music to emerging artists and leading voices who are building on the Superchain.
We also help onboard artists and creators, aligning our brand with Optimism’s vision and growing the Superchain’s mindshare.
Our grant in RetroPGF Round 3 is the primary source of our ongoing runway and has been essential for our growth and consistency.
However, we’re not eligible for retroactive rewards under the new “Retro Funding” framework because consumer facing tools, educational initiatives, and events are out of scope.
Our approach to minting—utilizing the same contract for our podcast episodes, rather than individual contracts per episode—make it challenging for us and other projects to meet the eligibility criteria for the “Token House Missions Collective–Intent 2: Grow the Superchain”.
This is why we’re kindly requesting some clarity and guidance on how to adjust our contributions to meet the criteria under the new “Retro Funding” framework.
We think that recognizing the impact of cultural and educational projects that might not fit into quantitative assessment models so neatly but are essential to the ecosystem’s growth could go a long way.
Alternatively, including them within a specific category under the “Token House Missions–Collective Intents” could deepen Optimism’s understanding of how these contributors drive value for the ecosystem, while also ensuring that many active Superchain projects are rewarded.
Thank you for considering our input!
We’d greatly appreciate some clarity on the “Retro Funding” criteria and are also available to offer feedback or help in any way we can!
