As this is the first Grant Misuse Report I will give you some leeway. The Grant Misuse Reporting Process has very strict and explicit rules about addressing the reporter. Please address the claims directly - not the reporter. The onchain evidence is what you should be defending/explaining.

[…]
Should the accused reach out to the Reporter directly, the accused will immediately be in violation of the Rules of Engagement (see Intimidation) and will result in their suspension from all Optimism platforms. This will happen regardless of if the accused has responded to the report yet.
[…]
Note that the accused may not attack or even address the reporter, and are ONLY allowed to respond to the evidence provided. Accused may ONLY refer the the reporter as “the Reporter”.
Please update your replies as soon as possible to remove your accusations against the reporter (as these are direct violations of the rules, and are not relevant to the report), or these posts will be edited for you.
Additionally, to clarify, doing anything with OP from a Grant that was not EXPLICITLY outlined in the original Grant is a misuse of the Grant.
