Grant Program Overview

The Optimism Collective offers two types of grants: Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding), which rewards projects based on demonstrated impact, and Mission Grants, which provide upfront funding for projects aligned with strategic goals to be completed within 12 months. Retro Funding is distributed in rounds with specific criteria, and Mission Grants are aligned with 'Collective Intents,' such as governance improvements, infrastructure development, and tooling. Over 50,000,000 OP has been awarded through Retro Funding rounds, with 800,000,000 OP reserved for future rounds.
