It funded contributors across eight categories: applications and integrations; code audits; committees & DAOs serving the Aave ecosystem; community (marketing and educational); developer tooling; events/hackathons/sponsorships; protocol development; and other. Early AGD grantees included Chaos Labs and TokenLogic, both of which later became Aave DAO service providers.\n\n**Money.** AGD published one cumulative total for itself, in its September 2023 continuation proposal: \"Since its inception in May 2021, AGD has awarded $4,852,753 across 249 grants\", restated word for word in the Snapshot proposal that carried it. That is the last figure AGD ever published — it kept awarding into August 2024 but never posted the final overview it promised, and the January 2025 retrospective gives only \"over 250 teams were supported\" — so `allocated` here is committed-to-date as of September 2023, not a closing total.\n\nThe $500,000 ceiling is the founding proposal's own tiering: \"Rapid grants: <$100k … Community grants: $100k-$500k … Contributors can also seek grants over $500k but they will not go through the committee. They will have to be posted on Aave's governance forum and approved through an on-chain vote.\" $500k is where this program ended and a DAO vote began. No later renewal restates or revokes the tiering, and aavegrants.org itself publishes no range.\n\n**No `budget`, because AGD never had one envelope.** Aave funded it in five successive tranches, each sized in the proposal that granted it: $1M over two quarters at launch in May 2021; $2M for three months from December 2021; $3M per quarter for six months from May 2022; and $3.25M — $1.625M per quarter — for six months from January 2023. Any single one of them would understate the program and would sit oddly next to an allocated figure larger than it.\n\n**Wind-down timeline:**\n- August 2024 — \"Update from Aave Grants: Winding Down AGD 1.0 and What's Next\" announced that operations would be wound down and the team disbanded.\n- January 2025 — \"Reflecting on AGD's Journey and Next Steps\" confirmed the wind-down, noting that as new service providers emerged their scope increasingly overlapped with AGD's broad funding mandate.\n- February 2025 — an ARFC to return the remaining AGD treasury (321,768.10 GHO, 259,221.75 OP, 2,275.81 AAVE, 7,281.89 USDT, 6,738.05 USDC, 5,243.26 SAFE, 478.61 DAI) to the Aave DAO collectors passed Snapshot with 723.7K votes.\n- 15 July 2026 — in response to a direct forum question asking whether the program was still active, Aave service provider TokenLogic replied: \"You are correct that Aave Grants DAO has been sunset, and as part of that process, it is no longer accepting or reviewing new grant applications. As such, we wouldn't recommend preparing a submission through the AGD funding process.\"\n\nThe aavegrants.org site and its application form are still reachable and still carry the old rolling-applications copy, but they are stale: the site's news feed has not been updated since 2021 and the intake is not being reviewed. Prospective contributors are directed to engage the Aave DAO governance forum instead.\n\n**Dating this record.** Aave published no announcement date for AGD, so `postedAt` is an archival bound rather than an announcement: the grants site was publicly visible by 11 May 2021, the first capture of aavegrants.org. The founding forum thread carries the corroborating update — \"UPDATE – May 28, 2021: The proposal was ratified on-chain earlier this month, the grants DAO has been funded and we've started receiving applications.\"", "summary": "Aave Grants DAO has been sunset and is no longer accepting or reviewing grant applications.

The subsidy is therefore USD-denominated even though the DAO appropriation and some auditor payments are made in ARB.\n\nThe program launched on 1 August 2025 and, per the DAO proposal, ran \"an on-going open application for 1 year\" or until funds were exhausted.

An elected domain allocator owns the domain budget, publishes its priorities and decides each award.\n\nThe domain page frames scope as four buckets. \"Back to basics\": essential infrastructure for asset visualisation and network interaction — e.g. an RPC built on Alchemy infrastructure, or translation of successful projects' documentation into Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish and French — plus foundations that let dApps and protocols run their own metrics systems, on the explicit view that \"Total Value Locked (TVL) may not be the most appropriate metric\". \"Bring something cool from another chain to Arbitrum\": toolkits and SDKs that make Lens-, Farcaster- or Push-style applications buildable on Arbitrum, including better documentation and MVPs for B2B SaaS-shaped functionality. \"Addressing the current challenges of Arbitrum\": centralization, ecosystem development and security — documentation to help build sequencers, developer SDKs for dApps \"we've never heard of\", and scanners that surface and improve vulnerabilities in deployed contracts. \"DevRel\": developer-first projects that streamline communication between developers and ecosystem stakeholders.\n\nWorked examples the allocator publishes: IDEs for Arbitrum's chains (editor, debugger, compiler, deployer, or Arbitrum support added to existing products); SDKs and libraries for interacting with Arbitrum's smart-contract platform plus testing, deployment and monitoring tooling; testing and debugging frameworks across environments; monitoring and analytics tools covering gas usage, transaction times and user engagement; documentation and tutorial portals covering Arbitrum's API; and community forums and support channels for Arbitrum developers. Projects that lower the barrier for new developers — tutorials, articles, boilerplate, starter projects — are explicitly in scope.\n\nEvaluation: \"Proposals in this domain are typically reviewed directly by the domain allocator. Depending on the proposal content, the domain allocator may consult with allocator(s) in relevant domain(s) and may invite other allocator(s) to provide additional review.\" The rubric is five items each scored 0–5: Team experience; Novelty and quality of the idea; Relevance to our ecosystem; Completeness of the plan; Feasibility of goals and timeline. \"Proposals that score highly in the evaluation rubric are more likely to be funded, but there is no minimum threshold number of points for funding and no threshold that guarantees funding. Grant decisions are heavily influenced by the evaluation rubric but also take into consideration the balancing of project areas.\"\n\nDisbursement is milestone-gated: \"All milestones are required to be filled in disbursements following the following disbursement schedule (template): Compound Milestone Tranches - Alcancía.pdf\". While the domain was taking proposals it read them as they arrived, with no round deadline.\n\n**Submissions are closed.** The program's official Season 3 thread on forum.arbitrum.foundation (topic 28753) carries the program manager's announcement of 2026-03-17: \"The active phase of the program is now complete … As originally planned, submissions are now officially closed. Over the past year, we received more than 1,200 applications\". The program then moved to what its own reports call a \"low capacity phase\" — \"a phase lasting until Fall in which we just review the milestones of the approved projects and support the builders\" — in which the domain allocators review and disburse milestones for already-approved projects and no new proposals are taken. The latest post in that thread, the bi-monthly report of 2026-07-22, gives the program's state across all five domains: 1,262 proposals submitted, 190 approved, 76 completed, $5.3M of $6.75M allocated (78%) and $3.4M disbursed (64%).\n\n**No application deadline is recorded.** The program published no closing date in advance — the intake simply ended when the active phase did, announced after the fact on 2026-03-17 — so this record carries no deadline rather than a date the funder never set. The `applicationUrl` is still arbitrum.questbook.app because that is the address the DAO published for this program and where the approved proposals continue to be administered, not because new proposals are accepted there.\n\n**Go-live.** The DDA program \"went live on the 5th of October\" 2023 with $800k across four domains, of which this is one; Questbook's Phase 2 continuation request on the Arbitrum forum is what dates it. Both original domains in this corpus carry that same go-live as `postedAt`, because the four domains opened together and none of them was announced separately.\n\n**No per-domain budget is recorded.** The \"Status Live\" and \"Available $132k\" this record used to carry were read off arbitrumhub.io, a third-party aggregator still showing the domain's Season 1/2 state, and no live source replaces them. The places checked are the arbitrumhub.io domain page (still \"Status Live\", still \"Available $132k\", still naming the Season 1/2 allocator); arbitrum.questbook.app, the DAO's actual intake, which is a JavaScript application serving no figures to fetch; and the DAO's own threads on forum.arbitrum.foundation. Topic 27584, the Season 3 RFC, sizes the earlier seasons — Season 1 at \"$250,000 per domain, totaling $1 million\" with a \"soft cap of $25,000 per project\", Season 2 \"expanded funding to $1,000,000 per domain\" — and topic 28753, the Season 3 official thread, reports Season 3 only in program-wide terms ($5.3M of $6.75M allocated across five domains). Neither publishes a Season 3 figure for this domain on its own, so the record carries no `fundingInfo`, and no allocator is named.\n\n**A correction to this record's earlier evidence trail.** An earlier reading of this record cited topics 27584 and 27909 alone and concluded the domain was still taking proposals. It was not: topic 27909 is the December 2024 election and application thread, it is closed with no post since 2025-02-02, and it evidences only that the domain existed in Season 3. The thread that carries the intake's actual state is topic 28753, which was not consulted then and is quoted above. Topic 27909 remains the source of the Season 3 domain name used in the title — \"Dev Tooling on One and Stylus\"; \"Dev Tooling on One and Nova\" was the Season 1/2 name, and is what this record's identifier was minted from.\n\n**Program naming.** \"Delegated Domain Allocation (DDA)\" is the Season 1/2 name, kept here because it is what this record's identifier and title were minted from.

We know it can be susceptible to opportunistic practices, such as 'farming', and sometimes the budgets presented may be excessive. It's vital for us to adopt a critical approach to ensure funds are allocated to initiatives that genuinely have a positive impact on Arbitrum.\"\n\nFour funding verticals are published: Organization of Hackathons (the primary vertical and \"our main focus\"), for web3 hackathons in Arbitrum One, Arbitrum Nova and Arbitrum Orbit ecosystems, with \"special attention to those hackathons that promote the development of tools and products using Stylus\"; Initiatives for Institutional Community Growth, connecting and strengthening the Arbitrum community in universities and educational institutions and reaching beyond software development into Economics, Law, Political Science and others, including innovations in academic development in collaboration with Arbitrum DAO and governance; Educational Materials and Workshops, long-lasting tutorials and videos covering Arbitrum One, Nova, Orbit and Stylus in visual, written or web formats, multilingual, and \"vital that these resources be freely accessible and offered for free\"; and IRL educational events where \"Arbitrum stands out as the protagonist\", with a stated preference for smaller gatherings of 30–60 participants in emerging or unconventional regions.\n\nExplicit exclusions: \"In the educational branch, we won't back sensationalist materials or those about airdrops, ARB token quotations, or fleeting news. Our mission is to promote consistent, long-term educational content.\" On events: \"we won't support two consecutive events from one region or the same country - this is obviously subject to demand\", and content value is prioritised \"rather than purely promotional strategies\".\n\nSix evaluation criteria are published: Team Composition and Experience (web3 plus \"a solid and verifiable background in web2\", trustworthy individuals with an impeccable reputation, no fraudulent behaviour); Innovation and Quality of the Idea (high quality, durable, freely accessible, academic rather than advertising, university collaborations valued); Budget and Plan Depth (justified budgets with a thorough breakdown; excessive or unrelated expenses will be scrutinised; applicants urged to receive funds through a multisig \"not only as a security measure but also to ensure resources aren't under the exclusive control of a single address\"); Roadmap and Milestones (well-defined, realistic, feasible; ambiguous proposals will not be considered; milestones serve as benchmarks for the community to monitor progress); Impact, Outcomes and Metrics (robust assessment methods, open and consistent communication with the Arbitrum community, tangible on-chain or off-chain outcomes, published metrics after a set period); and Long-Term Perspective (sustained vision, no short-lived initiatives).\n\nWhile the domain was taking proposals it read them as they arrived, with no round deadline.\n\n**Submissions are closed.** The program's official Season 3 thread on forum.arbitrum.foundation (topic 28753) carries the program manager's announcement of 2026-03-17: \"The active phase of the program is now complete … As originally planned, submissions are now officially closed.

The expression-of-interest form below was still reachable when this record was written on 2026-08-11, and the Foundation's grants index still listed the program, but new investment has ended; the 225M ARB below is what the DAO backed the program with, not what is left to deploy.\n\nArbitrum Gaming Ventures (AGV) is the ArbitrumDAO's gaming and consumer venture initiative — the renamed successor to the Gaming Catalyst Program (GCP).

The Arbitrum Foundation states AGV is 'Backed by 225M ARB from the ArbitrumDAO'; the figure is a native token quantity, so this record's currency is ARB rather than USD.\n\nAGV describes itself as investing in 'teams creating exceptional experiences at the intersection of blockchain gaming, entertainment, and culture'. It 'deploys investment and grant funding to proven publishers and rising indies, using flexible deal structures such as grants, co-investments, equity, or token models to meet entrepreneurs where they are'. Support extends beyond capital to user-acquisition and scaling capital, strategic partnerships and go-to-market help, for teams ranging from AAA studios to indie creators. Its published thesis pillars are Funding Breakthroughs (projects with breakout potential, retentive user experiences and novel distribution strategies), Arbitrum Everywhere, and Bet on Talent, Big or Small.\n\nGovernance and operations: AGV is run by an operating team (Partners, a General Manager, a Venture Associate, a Grants Program Lead, a General Counsel and a Content and Communications Lead) overseen by an elected AGV Council including an Investment Committee member and an Arbitrum Foundation observer. Council seats run on a calendar-year term with nominations in October, voting in November and transition in December. The program's official start date was 1 January 2025. Its H2 2025 transparency report records the thesis broadening beyond gaming into gamified consumer platforms, prediction markets and other onchain-native experiences, and a more capital-disciplined deployment posture given ARB price volatility.\n\nDisclosed portfolio companies include Giant, Golden Tides, Forkast, The Lost Glitches, Coverd, Hyve Labs, Wildcard, T-Rex, Forge.gg, Jin Anomaly, XAI and Thousands.\n\nIntake: AGV runs a standing expression of interest at arbitrumgamingventures.com/apply — 'If you are working on the next big thing in gaming, entertainment, or consumer, we want to hear from you.

Wishlist items name gaps and invite you to propose an approach; RFP items are more prescriptive and time-bound around a defined deliverable.\n2. **Apply** with a proposal covering methodology, timeline and deliverables. You receive a confirmation email.\n3. **Review** by the Grant Management (GM) team together with the EF team that owns the item. May include an interview, project rescoping or budget negotiation.\n4. **Decision** by email. Most applications are reviewed within **3-6 weeks**. Selected projects agree a grant structure with **milestone-based payments**, then complete onboarding including identity verification and a formal grant letter.\n5. **Execute** with a Grant Evaluator assigned for regular check-ins and milestone reviews.\n6. **Complete** by publishing the results publicly in a report or post.\n\n**Funding size:** ESP publishes no fixed award range. Per the ESP FAQ, \"Grant funding is determined based on the scope and complexity of the proposal, unless otherwise specified in the posted Wishlist or RFP item. Where applicable, RFPs may include budget guidance estimates. The GM team will work with applicants to determine final grant amounts.\"\n\n**Payment:** \"Ethereum Foundation grants are paid on-chain in ETH by default\", and recipients must be able to securely receive and manage ETH. Exceptions are considered only in limited cases where legal or operational constraints prevent receiving ETH.\n\nESP's own published allocation history: 136 projects / $26.9M (2021), 397 projects / $30.0M (2022), 498 projects / $61.1M (2023), 677 projects / $44.4M (2024).\n\nYou may apply to multiple Wishlist or RFP items, but each needs a separate application.\n\nESP was introduced on the Ethereum Foundation blog on 19 November 2019 — \"Introducing the Ecosystem Support Program\", published together with a call for applications directing applicants to esp.ethereum.foundation. That is the earliest ESP post on the blog and the date this record carries as `postedAt`.\n\n**On the figures this record does not carry.** The allocation history above is historic disbursement, not a budget: ESP publishes no annual envelope, no round envelope — \"There are no active grant rounds at this time\" — and no per-grant range, and the FAQ quoted above declines to give one. The only ceiling ESP ever published belonged to the Small Grants track, \"Small grants, capped at $30,000\", and that track no longer exists: the page returns 404 and it is absent from the current sitemap, so it is not a current ceiling for anything. Budget guidance, where it exists at all, lives inside individual Wishlist or RFP items rather than at program level, which is why this record carries no `fundingInfo`.", "summary": "Rolling Ethereum Foundation grants for open-source public goods, applied for against a public Wishlist or a defined RFP.", "status": "open", "operatingOrganizations": [ { "name": "Ethereum Foundation", "slug": "ethereum-foundation", "orgType": "foundation", "website": "https://ethereum.foundation/", "ecosystems": [ "Ethereum" ], "description": "Stiftung Ethereum, a Swiss Stiftung (foundation) located at Zeughausgasse 7a, 6300 Zug, Switzerland.

If a member leaves Consensys, the remaining members may fill the seat by majority vote. Members are Dan Finlay, Aaron Davis (Kumavis), Taylor Monahan, Christian Montoya, Ryan Jones, Ian Wallis and Jordan Spence.\n3. **Secure MultiSig** — a 2-of-3 Gnosis Safe controlled by Consensys that manages the token contract and treasury and signs disbursements.\n\n**Two grant types:**\n- **Leadership Committee Grants** — voted on exclusively by the Leadership Committee. Any Committee member may propose; proposals with at least **5 'yes' votes** at closing pass. Votes are open for **five days**.\n- **Full DAO Grants** — voted on by the full DAO. Any Committee member may propose; proposals with more 'yes' than 'no' votes at closing pass. Votes are open for **ten days**.\n\nVoting occurs on Activate, Consensys' proprietary platform built on top of Snapshot (the DAO's Snapshot space is `heart.mmgdao.eth`). Governance uses a non-transferable, fungible mainnet token that is mintable and burnable by the multisig and is \"explicitly designed to never be exchanged for value\"; all Consensys employees receive the same number of tokens, minted on joining and burned on departure.\n\n**Intake:** external developers apply via a rolling application form. The DAO's Request for Proposals page states: \"We are not currently running any RFP rounds, but our rolling grant applications remain open.\" There is no guaranteed review timeline — \"We can't guarantee when we will review your request or that it will get approved, but know that our team will review the application pipeline as often as we can.\"\n\n**No published range, and no envelope.** Nothing on the DAO's own site carries a dollar figure — not the FAQ's description of the two grant types, not the RFP page, not the grantee list. The closest it comes is a DAO objective stating that \"More than 50% of the DAO's initial budget is allocated through tokenized proposal voting within the first three months of operation\": the phrase \"initial budget\", without the number. Its Snapshot space holds sixteen proposals in total, of which three state an amount, and each states it as that grant's own size ($36,000, $35,000, $35,000) rather than as a range the program publishes. Consensys' launch announcement put the DAO's first-year funding at $2.4M, but that is the funder's press release rather than the program's own published budget, so this record carries no `fundingInfo` rather than promote it into one. The treasury cannot be read instead: it is described only as a 2-of-3 Gnosis Safe controlled by Consensys, with no address published anywhere on the site.\n\n**On the open status:** the DAO's own RFP page still states that rolling grant applications remain open, which is what this record follows. Its Snapshot space has had no proposal since 22 December 2023, so the intake is open and the governance around it is quiet.\n\nThe DAO was launched on 27 October 2022, announced by Consensys as issuing grants to developers worldwide; metamaskgrants.org was first captured the same day.", "summary": "Employee-led, Consensys-funded rolling grants for external developers building in the MetaMask ecosystem.", "status": "open", "sponsoringOrganizations": [ { "name": "Consensys Software Inc.", "slug": "consensys", "orgType": "company", "website": "https://consensys.io/", "ecosystems": [ "Ethereum" ], "description": "Blockchain software development company and the builder of MetaMask.

It is run by a group of Nouners to be a \"flexible pool of capital\" that can be deployed when the project is time-sensitive, when the ask is too small for an official Nouns DAO proposal, or when retroactive funding is merited because the work is already done.\n\nThe committee's own scope statement is **\"For projects needing 0.1-10Ξ\"** — grants are denominated natively in ETH. The published grants ledger shows individual awards from 0.025Ξ up to 27.25Ξ, with USD equivalents shown alongside for reference only. (Re-read 2026-08-13: the ledger's low end is 0.025Ξ, below the committee's own stated 0.1Ξ floor, with several awards at 0.05Ξ. This record previously gave the low end as 0.1 ETH, which is the scope statement rather than what the ledger shows.)\n\n**Two funding modes:**\n- **Small Grant** — an upfront payment to fund a project.\n- **Retroactive Funding** — a payment for work already completed.\n\n**Requesting a grant:** open a post on the Nouns Discourse forum and prefix the title with \"Small Grants: \" for visibility. A committee member will then reach out to you, but you can also post the link to your Discourse post in the **#grants-and-retro-funding** channel in the Nouns Discord to get it on their radar. There are no deadlines.\n\n**⚠️ Verification note (re-checked 2026-08-13):** the Discourse forum that this process depends on no longer exists — `discourse.nouns.wtf` returns no DNS record at all, and neither does `forum.nouns.wtf` — so every historical \"Small Grants:\" thread linked from the instructions is unreachable. The instructions page at nouns.center is live (HTTP 200) and unchanged, still headed \"For projects needing 0.1-10Ξ\" and still routing applicants to Discourse; `nouns.wtf` resolves and the Nouns Discord invite still resolves. So the documented primary submission venue is dead while the page documenting it is not.\n\n**Why this record is `closed`, and what that status does and does not claim.** No page states that the committee has wound down, and none states that it is still awarding. The status here is a reading of the last verifiable evidence rather than a funder announcement: the only intake route the committee publishes cannot be reached, and nothing published replaces it. It is not a claim that the committee has been dissolved. For the same reason this record carries no `deadlines`: the committee's own instructions say there are no deadlines, which was previously recorded as a rolling application deadline, but a rolling intake is a claim about an open programme and this record is not asserting one.

Polymarket names the kinds of projects it wants — integrating Polymarket markets inside your app; distributing to a specific vertical or geography; building a pro trading terminal with advanced orders; empowering users with new analytics, portfolio managers and AI decisions; launching a new type of media powered by prediction markets; or creating DeFi primitives such as lending and vaults.

Each reward epoch runs from Sunday 00:00 UTC to Saturday 23:59 UTC.

Header block as published: \"Issued by: Gitcoin DAO (sponsor: Kevin Owocki, ED) · Date issued: May 2026 · Proposals due: Rolling, first review June 1, 2026 · Engagement window: June 2026 – Q1 2027 (phased; see milestones) · Budget envelope: Open — propose your number. Bias toward lean, milestone-gated engagements over a single large retainer. · Submit to: kevin@gitcoin.co and/or post a response on gov.gitcoin.co\".\n\nContext given: \"Gitcoin is entering its 3.3 era… The DAO controls ~$20M in treasury + matching pool; ~12M GTC is held by the DAO and needs to be re-delegated back to a real, engaged community of delegates. We are looking for one or more vendors / collectives / individuals to run a phased community reboot. You may bid on one, two, or all three. We expect to award multiple contracts.\"\n\nWORKSTREAM A — DELEGATION: recruit 10–30 GTC delegates capable of carrying ~2.5M GTC of voting power (target ~100K–250K GTC per delegate, with a long tail). Proposal threshold is 150K GTC; quorum is 2.5M GTC (GovernorBravo 0x9d4c63565d5618310271bf3f3c01b2954c1d1639). Scope: build a candidate pipeline sourced from the existing Gitcoin community, allied DAOs (Optimism, Arbitrum, ENS, Protocol Guild, Octant), Ethereum public-goods orgs, AI-livelihood-aligned operators, regen/impact orgs and returning Gitcoin alumni; vet candidates against a public rubric covering mission alignment, governance track record, time commitment, conflicts, and geographic and ideological diversity; produce delegate profiles on Tally and gov.gitcoin.co; run delegate onboarding (GTC mechanics, treasury landscape, the 3.3 mission, open proposals, cadence expectations); and coordinate the delegation events themselves, matching candidates with GTC holders and getting the transactions executed. Deliverables: public rubric and selection process; 10–30 onboarded, publicly-profiled delegates with active GTC delegated; a live delegate roster with bios, conflicts and contact; a delegate orientation handbook (one-pager plus 30-min recorded onboarding); and a quarterly delegate health check. Success metrics: ≥ 2.5M GTC actively delegated to non-Foundation, non-multisig addresses within 90 days of contract start; no single delegate holding > 20% of active delegated supply; ≥ 70% of active delegates voting on at least 80% of proposals in their first 6 months. Gitcoin provides introductions (Foundation, Kyle Weiss, Owocki, existing top delegates), social amplification, coordination with Mathilda on contract/Governor parameters, and a pool of GTC the Foundation and Kevin are willing to delegate (subject to separate approval).\n\nWORKSTREAM B — EDUCATION: re-onboard the community to Gitcoin 3.3 and open a first door for net-new audiences (AI-economy operators, livelihood-focused funders, post-Web3 builders). Scope: a 6–8 week educational series across at least three formats — weekly or biweekly Twitter/X Spaces of ~45–60 min (Kevin plus co-host explainers, debates with critics, deep-dives with builders), monthly async-friendly AMAs on gov.gitcoin.co or elsewhere with a written summary published within 48h, and one additional format of the bidder's choice (podcast, YouTube longform, in-person at events, IRL salons, workshops, university chapters); a canonical \"Gitcoin 3.3 in 10 minutes\" explainer in video and written form; an FAQ on gov.gitcoin.co absorbing questions surfaced in Spaces/AMAs; and 3–5 seeded third-party explainers. Deliverables: a published calendar of educational events; ≥ 20 Twitter Spaces and ≥ 6 AMAs over the 6-month engagement; the canonical explainer; a maintained FAQ with ≥ 50 entries; and 3–5 third-party content placements. Success metrics: cumulative attended-live audience across Spaces ≥ 15K and cumulative replays ≥ 100K; ≥ 100 new gov.gitcoin.co accounts and ≥ 100 new GTC delegations attributable to educational programming; ≥ 25 pieces of independent third-party content referencing Gitcoin 3.3; ≥ 10 inbound asks per month citing educational content as the entry point. Gitcoin provides Kevin's time (cap ~3 hrs/week public-facing), talent introductions, brand assets, and its forum and social channels.\n\nWORKSTREAM C — CAMPAIGN: a launch campaign plan for Gitcoin 3.3, targeted at ~Q4 2026 / Q1 2027. Explicitly: \"We are not procuring execution of the campaign today. We are procuring the campaign plan, with an option to execute pending mutual agreement closer to launch.\" The plan must cover an audience map (delegates, builders, funders, beneficiaries, press, allied DAOs, each with its call-to-action); narrative architecture over a ~6-week launch window with hero artifacts; a channel plan (X, Farcaster, podcasts, conference presence including Devcon, partner co-marketing, paid if justified, press); mechanism activation driving at least one measurable on-chain event; a risk plan covering low turnout, hostile takes, technical delay and AI-livelihood backlash; budget and team, with pricing for the plan separate from pricing for execution; and proposed KPIs. Deliverables: a written plan of 2–5 pages delivered no later than 90 days before target launch, one review session with Kevin, Mathilda, Julia, Ash and ≥ 2 advisors, and an optional bid to execute.\n\nWHO THEY WANT: community-organizing operators with DAO governance experience; editorial/media collectives with crypto-native distribution and a record of moving narrative \"(not just impressions)\"; individual operators with deep Ethereum public-goods relationships; and cross-movement organizers from outside crypto (AI safety, livelihood/labor, post-growth, regen). Explicitly not fits: \"pure paid-media agencies, 'growth hacking' shops, generic web3 marketing firms, anyone whose primary offer is follower count.\"\n\nREVIEW PROCESS: \"Rolling. First batch reviewed June 1, 2026 by Kevin + Mathilda + ≥ 1 advisor. Shortlisted vendors get a call. Decisions announced on gov.gitcoin.co.\"\n\nThe posting carries four open questions bidders are asked to address, and a standing caveat: \"This RFP is a living document. It will be updated as the working groups (education: Julia; funding/recruitment: Mathilda; marketing: Ash) refine scope,\" plus a disclaimer that it \"is for informative purposes only… reflects my personal views, not a decision or commitment by Gitcoin governance.\"\n\nAs of 2026-08-11 the forum thread is still titled \"DRAFT - RFP: Reboot the Gitcoin Community for the 3.3 Era\", carries no tags, and is neither closed nor archived. It has five posts; the last was 2026-06-05. Four public bid summaries have been posted (SEEDGov, Anode/Kaf, Tanisha Katara of Katara Consulting Group, and Eureka/Sixty), all bidding on Workstream A with partial bids on B and C. No award, shortlist or decision has been announced on the thread.\n\n**The open budget is the RFP's design, not a missing field.** Beyond the header's \"Budget envelope: Open — propose your number\", the RFP pushes pricing onto bidders everywhere it could have set a ceiling: \"Budget and milestone structure. Prefer milestone-gated payments\"; \"Budget and team. What you'd need to execute. Pricing for the plan should be separate from pricing for execution\"; and, among its open questions, \"What's your honest read on the MVP budget that produces real signal vs. theater?\" No range, per-workstream cap or per-milestone amount appears anywhere. The only dollar figure in the document is context about the DAO's own finances (~$20M in treasury plus matching pool), not this engagement's envelope. Of the four bids posted to the thread, three state that the priced proposal went to the sponsor by email and one published its own ask — $5,000 total, split across two milestones — which is a bidder's price and not the program's, so nothing is recorded from it.", "summary": "Open-budget, milestone-gated vendor solicitation from Gitcoin DAO across three workstreams — GTC delegate recruitment, community re-onboarding/education, and a Gitcoin 3.3 launch campaign plan.

Any grants posted after that deadline will be carried over to the next award period.\" Questions and discussion of submitted applications go in a separate community discussion thread, not the application thread.\n\n**GMC goals.** Grants, bounties and retrospective awards should make it easier and/or more attractive to do one or more of the following: become a node operator; operate a node, mint rETH; hold or use rETH; improve the quality of life for the protocol and its community.\n\n**Grants scoring rubric.** When evaluating grant applications the GMC considers: (1) if the application is successful, to what extent does it further the GMC goals; (2) to what extent can the application be feasibly carried out by the person(s) proposed to complete it; (3) if the application is successful, how large is the benefit to the protocol relative to the size of the proposed costs.\n\n**Award sizing.** The GMC publishes no per-grant cap. Applicants state their own ask, and the application template asks it **in US dollars**: \"How much USD $ and over what period of time is the applicant requesting?\" Payment is made from the committee's RPL treasury — the July 2026 treasury report notes that month's payments were made at an RPL price of $1.77, and the committee separately executes RPL-to-USDC swaps to settle awards. The GMC can only send grants directly to a recipient address and cannot accept invoices.\n\n**Microgrants.** Following a GMC vote, a microgrant framework was introduced (announced May 2026) in response to treasury constraints. Microgrants use the existing GMC grant system with no process changes and no separate application type — contributors submit standard applications and the GMC may choose to award a microgrant. Microgrants \"will typically fall into one of the following ranges: 10 RPL, 50 RPL, 100 RPL\". They can be used for both new submissions and retrospective recognition, are intended as partial recognition given current constraints, may be revisited if treasury conditions improve, and there is no limit on how many a contributor can receive.\n\nBecause the applicant's ask is denominated in USD while microgrant tiers are quoted natively in RPL, and neither constitutes a published program-wide award range, no minAward/maxAward or currency is asserted on this record.\n\nRound 40 is confirmed as the current round as of 2026-08-11: it is the most recent call for applications in the Grants / Bounties category, posted 2026-08-08, and no later round has superseded it.\n\nThe governing RPIP sets no per-grant cap and no per-round pool either; its only budget statement points upstream, to the share of the protocol-level budget set aside for grants and bounties together.

The microgrant framework introduced in May 2026 applies to this track too — microgrants \"can be used for both new submissions and retrospective recognition\" and typically fall into 10 RPL, 50 RPL or 100 RPL tiers.

That rule is not in force and has not been for about three years. RPIP-26, whose vote passed on 2023-08-18, states: \"This RPIP supercedes RPIP-18: it removes the 50% retrospective award cap.\" RPIP-15, RPIP-18 and RPIP-26 now all carry the banner \"🛑 This RPIP has been marked obsolete and is no longer in force\"; the document currently in force is RPIP-40 (Status: Final, vote passed 2024-03-28), which restates the removal and sets no retrospective cap of its own. The only relative ceiling RPIP-40 does cite is at committee level, not track level — \"RPIP-10 sets aside 30% of the pDAO budget for Grants and Bounties\" — which sizes the whole GMC treasury shared by the grants, bounty and retrospective tracks.

This record is the narrow one — \"Unichain grants — Unichain DeFi projects with $250K+ TVL and infrastructure projects can apply for product and GTM support, with up to $7.5K in grants funding\" — and it carries that row's form and its $7,500 ceiling. The Foundation also runs a broad programme on the same page — \"Uniswap Foundation grants — The Uniswap Foundation Grants program funds teams building across the Uniswap ecosystem — protocols, tooling, research, governance, and community. We support projects at any stage, from early experiments to production systems ready to scale\" — which takes a different form and publishes no ceiling. That programme is NOT this record: it is not represented in this corpus, and the $7,500 here must not be read as its award ceiling. Verified live 2026-08-13.\n\nThe context below describes the Foundation's grant-making as a whole, because the Unichain track is administered inside it and the Foundation publishes its terms once, for both. The Uniswap Foundation funds work across the Uniswap Protocol and Unichain in five focus areas it publishes as: **Developers** (onboarding new developers to build on the Uniswap Protocol and supporting them through the development lifecycle), **Infrastructure** (new core infrastructure and growth strategies), **Governance** (empowering Uniswap governance to support protocol growth and sustain itself), **Research** (seeding DeFi research and its practical implementations), and **Security** (protecting the Protocol's users through investments into security). Its grants page groups the funded portfolio under Ecosystem, Research, Security and Governance.\n\n**Payment currency and mechanics:** the Foundation's FAQ states that \"Grant payments are currently made in fiat USD or USDC.\" During the Selection phase a team member works with the applicant to outline grant milestones, each tied to clear deliverables and to a portion of the overall payment; **grants typically have 2-5 milestones**, defined in the contract executed on approval. The initial payment is disbursed after KYC and contract signature, and subsequent payments on completion of each milestone. Every grantee is assigned a point person for 1-1 support and milestone check-ins.\n\nRepresentative funded work includes the Uniswap Hook Incubator (Atrium Academy, 1,200+ applicants and 400+ developers onboarded), the OpenZeppelin v4 Hooks Library, the Uniswap Foundation Security Fund (Areta), v4 audits (OpenZeppelin, Trail of Bits, Cantina/Spearbit, ABDK, Certora), Unichain infrastructure and DeFi protocol onboarding support, the Protocol Grants Program (Auditless), Doppler (Whetstone), TLDR, and governance work with Agora, Blockful and Butter.\n\n**Intake state (re-checked 2026-08-13): open.** The Foundation's current Build on Uniswap page carries a \"Unichain grants\" entry reading \"Unichain DeFi projects with $250K+ TVL and infrastructure projects can apply for product and GTM support, with up to $7.5K in grants funding\", and links exactly the form this record carries as its `applicationUrl`; that form returns HTTP 200 with no closure markers. The separate grants page at uniswapfoundation.org/grants is a funded-portfolio and impact view rather than an intake: it carries no application form and no occurrence of \"apply\", \"application\", \"submit\" or \"intake\" anywhere in its markup, and /grants/apply and /apply both return HTTP 404. Nothing on any Foundation page or on gov.uniswap.org announces a closure, pause or sunset. No deadline is published; applications are read as they arrive.\n\nUnichain Developer Grants were announced by the Uniswap Foundation on 14 October 2024, in the post \"Introducing Unichain Developer Grants\".\n\n**Award ceiling, and why no envelope is recorded.** The only Unichain-attributed figure the Foundation publishes is the per-grant ceiling quoted above — \"up to $7.5K in grants funding\", re-verified live on the Build on Uniswap page on 2026-08-12 — and it is recorded here as `fundingInfo.maxAward` of 7,500 USD. It is a maximum award and not a programme budget, so no budget is recorded: the Foundation publishes no Unichain-earmarked envelope. The number that does exist is foundation-wide: the Uniswap Unleashed proposal, executed on-chain in March 2025, requested \"an investment of $95.4M into the UF grants budget, and $25.1M to fund operations, for the next 2 years\", with \"projected grants budgets for 2025 and 2026 [of] $57.9M and $41.5M respectively\" — across Ecosystem, Research, Security and Governance, and across both Uniswap protocol and Unichain work. Putting it on this record would assert an attribution the Foundation never made. The same proposal names the Unichain-specific programs (Developer Growth Programs, a Unichain Infrastructure Allocation, a Unichain DeFi Partner Allocation, Unigames) without sizing any of them; the per-program breakdown exists only inside an embedded chart image. The sibling $45M is liquidity incentives, not grants.\n\nThe one publication that might have carried a Unichain-earmarked figure — the original announcement on Mirror — is unrecoverable: Mirror migrated to Paragraph, the URL now serves that platform's own homepage and no capture of the post exists. The Foundation's blog post announcing the program, referenced above, is the live equivalent and carries no figure.", "summary": "Rolling Uniswap Foundation grants for Unichain DeFi projects with $250K+ TVL and Unichain infrastructure projects — product and go-to-market support, up to $7,500.", "status": "open", "operatingOrganizations": [ { "name": "Uniswap Foundation", "slug": "uniswap-foundation", "orgType": "foundation", "website": "https://www.uniswapfoundation.org/", "ecosystems": [ "Ethereum", "Unichain" ], "description": "A Delaware non-profit organization founded in 2022 whose mission is to support the growth, decentralization and sustainability of decentralized finance.

Every published phrasing is retrospective. (Until 2026-08-13 this record put a differently-worded sentence in quotation marks and attributed it to \"a later Foundation post\". That sentence is not findable verbatim on any published page, and the attribution was wrong twice over: the wording above is the published one, and ProPGF is a Protocol Labs programme — the results post states that \"Protocol Labs' Filecoin Public Goods Funding (PGF) programs support projects that strengthen the Filecoin ecosystem\" — not a Filecoin Foundation one, the Foundation being a separate entity.) No Batch 1 pool was ever pre-announced — unlike the Batch 2 General Track, whose $4M ceiling was announced up front — so this record carries `allocated` and deliberately no `budget`. Awards ran from $25,000 to $500,000 per project and settle in USDC, but no eligibility minimum or maximum was ever published, so no award range is recorded either.\n\n**One figure that does not match, and why the announcement's is used.** The program's own payout ledger reports 3,741,800 for the same 14 grants — roughly $60,000 more, from post-announcement adjustments — and carries an explicit data-quality note that its Batch 1 records were entered retrospectively and in bulk rather than captured in real time. The announced total is the published one and is what this record carries; the two should not be mixed.\n\n**Announcement.** `postedAt` is 25 March 2025, the date of the *Introducing FIL ProPGF* post, which opened the first call — \"Formal applications open the week of March 31st\". That first call is what the ecosystem later named Batch 1; no separate Batch 1 announcement was ever published, so this is the earliest dated public notice of the round.\n\n**Eligibility, corrected 2026-08-13.** This record previously carried the sentence \"Not open to all applicants — the program invites or pre-selects participants.\" That is an upstream intake flag rendered as prose, and it contradicted this record's own documented application window. ProPGF's General Track rounds are open calls decided by a selection committee; the programme's Pods Track, which is a separate record, is the part of ProPGF that is not open.\n\n**No application deadline is recorded.** The only window this round ever published is the roadmap in that same post — \"Formal applications open the week of March 31st\", \"Application period closes (Late April)\" — which names no date. Until 2026-08-13 this record carried a fixed application deadline of 2025-10-01, which came from the upstream registry snapshot's operational end date rather than from the funder, and which postdated the round's own results post of 11 August 2025 by seven weeks — on its face, applications closing after the winners were announced.

The form at anchor.prezenti.xyz serves a live, submittable \"Prezenti: Anchor Grant Form\" headed \"For Season 3, we're prioritizing projects that align with the following Celo wide goals: - Grow daily transactions on Celo - Grow TVL on Celo - Leverage MiniPay's distribution to scale - Increase Celo revenue\", and gates entry on \"AT LEAST 5,000 DAILY TRANSACTIONS\".\n\n**A correction to this record's earlier reading.** Until 2026-08-13 this record carried `status: closed` and asserted that the form \"now returns 'This form is now closed — the form can't receive new submissions at this moment' (checked 2026-08-11)\". That reading was correct on the date it was taken — the Season 2 round had closed on 30 June 2026 — and the Season 3 round opened on 12 August 2026, the day after. It is corrected here rather than left as post-snapshot drift on the record's most clickable link. Note for anyone re-checking by grepping the page source: the strings \"This form is now closed\" and \"The form can't receive new submissions at this moment\" are still present in the form platform's own bundled interface dictionary on a live form, so they are not on their own evidence of a closed form.\n\n**Season 2 (closed).** The Season 2 Anchor Open Round ran 25 February 2026 – 30 June 2026.\n\n**Outcome.** Anchor received 24 applications and funded 2 teams (BitGifty and TrenchVerse), each at $25,000, holding the traction bar rather than diluting criteria. $40,000 was reallocated out of Anchor mid-season on 5 May 2026 to capitalise a new Frontier pool for AI/agent-economy infrastructure, reducing Anchor's budget from $220,000 to $180,000; $130,015 was left uncommitted at season close and has been redeployed into Season 3.\n\n**Grant terms.** One-off grants paid in USDm (the USD-pegged stablecoin Prezenti holds, obtained by converting its CELO disbursement through Mento), split 20% at project onset and 80% after agreed delivery, with KYC and a signed contract with Prezenti, and four months from contract signature to delivery. Applications moved from Charmverse to Tally Forms in May 2026 after Charmverse ceased trading; old Charmverse links are inactive.\n\n**Stage-based grant sizes.** Stage 2 (Valora apps, Mini apps; 10K–100K est. daily transactions) ~$25k; Stage 3 (seed-stage or scaled products with traction; 100k–500k) ~$50k; Stage 4 (mature ecosystem apps; 500k+) case-by-case.\n\n**Decision process.** The Prezenti review team scores proposals against a published rubric (alignment, open-source commitment, demo quality, team, metrics/KPIs, correct stage, demand understanding, financial plan, plus a discretionary factor) and reaches a final decision by internal consensus vote. Outcomes are typically returned around 4 weeks from submission, on a rolling basis, notified first by email to the lead applicant. 100% of rejected Season 2 applicants received tailored, rubric-tied feedback.\n\n**Season 3.** A Season 3 plan was posted to the Celo governance forum on 23 July 2026, continuing Anchor alongside Boost and Frontier and funded by redeploying held funds rather than a new treasury draw. The round opened on 12 August 2026 and runs to 29 December 2026.\n\n**No Season 3 envelope is recorded.** prezenti.xyz/grants publishes the round's window, its stage-based grant sizes and an estimated grant count, but no Season 3 Anchor budget and no allocated-to-date figure. The `budget` of $180,000 and `allocated` of $50,000 this record used to carry were Season 2 figures and would have misdescribed the open round, so they have been removed; both remain in the Season 2 prose above.

We aren't looking for perfect code; we are looking for strong problem-solving, clean design, and a solid technical approach.\n\n# **⚠️ IMPORTANT: MANDATORY STEP**\n\nAll official announcements, squad formations, and shortlisting results will be shared EXCLUSIVELY on our WhatsApp handles. Joining both is mandatory for participation.\n\n👉 Join our WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbCzGzaJpe8chzjL0w1F\n👉 Join our Community Group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/EJrdn43jObx00BKnp444Rj\n\n# ​📅 **Event Overview**\n\n**Format:** 48-Hour Asynchronous Online Hackathon\n**Team Size**: 1 to 4 Members per Squad\n**Goal:** Build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) addressing specific community tech challenges.\n\n# 🛠️ The Challenge: Choose Your Problem Statement\nSquads must select one of the following real-world challenges to solve. Your goal is to build a functional MVP with a clean User Interface.\n\n> **1. The Developer Proof-of-Work Platform 🚀**\nMany developers build great projects but lose them in scattered GitHub repositories. Build a centralized showcase directory where developers can host their deployed projects, tag their tech stack, and attach demo videos. Include filtering options (e.g., MERN, Web3, AI) for easy discovery.\n\n>**2. The \"Execution-First\" Accountability Tracker 🔥**\nStudents often get stuck in \"tutorial hell.\" Build a web dashboard that tracks a user's daily or weekly \"build streak\" based on actual project execution. The app should prompt users with \"What did you code today?\", visualize their consistency, and reward them with milestones.\n\n>**3. The Skill-Based Teammate Matchmaker 🤝**\nFinding the right teammates for hackathons or side projects is a major hurdle. Design a user-directory system where individuals can create profiles highlighting their specific skills (e.g., UI/UX, React, AI) and proficiency levels. Implement a search and filter mechanism to connect users.\n\n> **4. The Crowdsourced Learning Vault 📚**\nThe internet is flooded with scattered resources. Build an organized, community-driven resource hub where users can submit and categorize high-quality links, tools, and guides. Include an upvote/downvote system so the best resources naturally rise to the top.\n\n>**5. The Micro-Event & Submission Portal 🎯**\nSmall tech communities struggle to manage asynchronous events through chaotic group chats. Create a streamlined event dashboard displaying hackathon details, rules, and deadlines. It must feature a dedicated submission portal where teams can upload their final deliverables.\n\n# 🎯 What You Need to Submit (The Deliverables)\nTo successfully complete the hackathon, your squad must submit the following three items:\n\n > **1. The Website MVP (Minimum Viable Product)**\n\n**Build What You Can:** If you are a beginner, building just a clean, functional frontend MVP is completely fine. If you have the skills, you are highly encouraged to build the full-stack version (Frontend + Backend/Database)!\n\n> **2. The Pitch Video (Max 10 Minutes)**\n\nThis is your final presentation! Record your screen and your voice.\n**How to do it:** Walk us through your PPT first, and then give a live demo of your Website MVP.\n**The Vibe:** Be confident! Explain your thought process, why you designed the UI a certain way, and how the code logic works.\n\n# 📅 Buildathon 1.0: Official Timeline\n**Phase 1: Registration & Concept Submission**\nDate: 4th May\nDuration: 24 Hours\nTask: Register your team on Devfolio and start working on any problem statement given above.\n\n**Phase 2: The 48-Hour Build Sprint**\nTask: Start coding your MVP (Minimum Viable Product). This is the main development phase where you build your frontend/full-stack solution.\nSubmission: Keep your Deployed Website Link.\n\n**Phase 3: Final Submission & Video Pitch**\nFinal Deliverables: \n1. Deployed Website Link. (In Project Links)\n2. GitHub Repo URL. (In Project Links)\n3. Final Video Demo (Max 10 Minutes):(YouTube link)\n\nImportant: The Devfolio submission portal will automatically close at 11:59 PM on 6th May.\n\n**📅 Important Instructions for Participants:**\n\nStrict Deadlines: Submissions after the round deadline will lead to automatic disqualification.\n\nCommunication: All shortlisting announcements will be made via the official Devlynix WhatsApp group and Devfolio notifications.\n\n# 📊 Evaluation Criteria\nJudges will evaluate your submissions out of 100 Points based on these 4 pillars:\n\n**Problem-Solution Fit (25 Points):** How practical and realistic is your solution?\n**UI/UX & Design (25 Points):** Is the layout user-friendly, clean, and adhering to the 'Silent Coder' aesthetic?\n**Technical Logic (25 Points):** How functional is the code, or how clearly is the technical architecture defined?\n**The Final Pitch (25 Points):** How well was the product explained and demonstrated in the video?\n\n*Get ready to build. Good luck, Squads! Let's build something awesome. 🛠️🔥*\n\n**Prizes, all of them non-monetary.** The event publishes six prize entries and every one of them carries a zero amount: Grand Prize (a shoutout on the organiser's LinkedIn page, a Certificate of Excellence and one-to-one portfolio mentorship), Runner-Up Squad (a community Wall of Fame place and a digital Certificate of Merit), Best UI/UX Award, Pure Coder Award, 2nd Runner Up, and a Certificate of Participation for a hundred entrants.

Small ticket size for getting something off the ground; applicants are expected to deliver at least to testnet (if technical) at a quality that could plausibly continue if the pilot succeeds. Projects must open-source their code and communicate what they learned. Priority to public-goods-style projects over commercial enterprises, though the latter is not disqualifying.\n- **GROWTH — $25,000 cUSD.** For incremental features for ecosystem mainstays or public goods. VC-funded, private, for-profit companies are not disqualified as a hard rule if they are clearly delivering something pivotal to the community.\n\nAt the time the round opened, Prezenti reported having received over 300 applications and granted $1.2M cUSD across more than 70 grants.\n\n**No round envelope was published.** The round announcement — forum.celo.org topic 9139, re-read on 2026-08-12 — gives the three tier sizes ($2,000 / $10,000 / $25,000) and no total; the string \"160,000\" does not appear in it. The CeloPG H2 2024 budget thread (topic 8231) sizes the programme rather than this round. The $1.2M cUSD above is stated there as Prezenti's track record before this round opened, immediately ahead of \"APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN UNTIL 15th November 2024\", so it is not this round's allocation either.

The rationale was that growing the volume and share of interop-compatible assets increases the chance interop is widely adopted.\n\n**Budget.** 6.29M OP from the Governance Fund, down from roughly 9M OP in Season 7 (excluding audit grants). Season 9 cut this again to 3.69M OP.\n\n**Process.** The Grants Council set its own selection algorithm, which had to be published as a public rubric on the forum before the first round of selection.

Rather than projects applying for audit money and then sourcing an auditor, the Grants Council (and, from Season 8, the Developer Advisory Board) pre-whitelisted audit firms; whitelisted ASPs then applied for specific audits and drew directly against the standing audit budget on the project's behalf. The stated aim of the model was to remove per-auditor pre-approved budgets and treat audits like any other grant in the system.\n\n**Governance and process.** In Seasons 8 and 9 the program sat with the Developer Advisory Board under a non-voting Lead plus seven voting Board Members, with two designated Audit Stewards. Applications were accepted on a rolling basis, with a target initial response to every applicant within 14 days (max) of submission; Steward funding recommendations were optimistically approved by the Board, and results were published as per-cycle reports on gov.optimism.io. Members had to declare conflicts of interest (employment, investment, advisory roles, code contributions) with respect to applicants.\n\n**Budget, and the season it belongs to.** Every Season 8 audit cycle report restates the same line — \"Season 8 Audit Grants Budget: 581,726.40 OP\" — and the last of them, Cycle 45, closes with \"Remaining Budget: 8,798.40 OP\". So 572,928 OP of that pool was allocated over the season, which the per-cycle approvals confirm exactly: 123,300 + 110,750 + 0 + 111,800 + 227,078. Both figures are **Season 8 only**. They are the audit-only slice carved out of that season's 949k OP Developer Advisory Board mission line, and they are not the sibling Season 9 record's 0.98M OP, which is a combined Audit Grants and Foundation Missions budget. **No Season 9 audit-only budget was ever published** — there is no Season 9 audit cycle report at all, Cycle 45 (December 2025) being the most recent of any season — so nothing here is carried into that season.\n\n**Scale.** Approved audit grants in the Season 8 cycles (41-45) ran from 18,500 OP to 90,300 OP per project. Optimism did not publish a per-audit cap.\n\n**Where it was submitted, and why no `applicationUrl` is recorded.** Optimism's own grants-site navigation separated \"Audit Grants\", which pointed at its mission page, from \"Audit Service Provider\", which pointed at this program's page on its grants platform — that program page was the ASP entry point. The form behind it was never archived, and the host answers nothing today, so there is neither a live URL nor a captured form to record and the field is left absent.\n\n**Why it is closed.** Governance Update #12 (3 June 2026) confirmed no dedicated Seasons after Season 9, and on 15 July 2026 the Token House passed the Developer Advisory Board Dissolution Proposal (22.33M OP For / 198.45K Against), dissolving the board that ran the ASP whitelist and the Audit Grants program, effective immediately.

It provides milestone-based grants to teams that directly contribute to the network’s growth, sustainability, and adoption.\n\nThe General Track funds a broad range of initiatives, including but not limited to:\n\n1.

The funded intake closed on **16 February 2026** — the same cut-off Polygon set for its two other programs of that cycle — and the program page reports that deadline as passed, which is why this record is `closed`. The marketplace itself is unaffected and remains live and free to use, so the accurate reading is a closed funding intake behind an open marketplace rather than a dead page.\n\n**How it works.** Builders submit an audit scope, are matched against a whitelisted auditor pool and receive competing quotes, free of charge. Submit your audit scope through the guided intake flow → explore the verified auditor list → receive roughly 10-12 competing quotes → choose your preferred auditor at transparent pricing → receive the audit under standardised terms. Areta advertises competing quotes within 48 hours.\n\n**Whitelisted providers.** The published Polygon marketplace provider list (20+ vetted auditors) includes ABDK Consulting, Ackee, Adevar Labs, Bailsec, Beosin, 33audits, Cantina/Spearbit Labs, Certora, ChainSecurity, Code4rena, Composable Security, Cyfrin, Dedaub, FYEO, Fuzzland, Guardian, Hacken, Halborn, Hexens, Immunefi, Josselin Feist, Kauz Security Services GmbH, Least Authority, MixBytes, Nethermind, Oak Security, Olympix, Quantstamp, QuillAudits, Runtime Verification, Serokell, Sherlock, Statemind, Veridise, Vidma and Zellic.\n\n**What Polygon published about the money, and what it did not.** The published rule is qualitative and carries no number: \"Partial or full reimbursement of audit costs (depending on project scope)\". Beyond it, every money field on the program's own record is zero, and no pool, no subsidy percentage and no per-project cap appears on any Polygon or Areta page. The contrast on the marketplace's own FAQ is decisive: the Polygon section has no subsidy entry at all, while the same file's 0G section reads \"capped at 30% of the quote price\" and its Uniswap section advertises subsidies \"of up to 100%\". The \"up to 50% savings on audit costs\" the marketplace markets is a competitive-quoting claim, not a Polygon-funded subsidy — and the intake's own first step asks builders to confirm \"I have applied/will apply for a grant via Polygon Foundation for this audit request\", which is where the money actually comes from. So this record carries no `fundingInfo`: the reimbursement rule is real and is quoted above, and it has no figure in it.\n\n**Announcement.** `postedAt` is 30 September 2025, the date Areta — the operator of the marketplace this program runs on — publicly announced its launch for Polygon: \"We're excited to announce the launch of the Security Audit Marketplace for @0xPolygon!\" Polygon Labs published no separate announcement post for the subsidy itself.", "summary": "Polygon's audit support ran through the Areta-operated Polygon Security Marketplace: free for builders, submit an audit scope and get competing quotes from 20+ whitelisted auditors within 48 hours.
