GG20 marked significant milestones, including a $1.6M matching pool, the election of a Community Council, a protocol upgrade, and a greater sybil resistance strategy.

This week, two Ethereum Foundation researchers (Justin Drake and Dankrad Feist) disclosed that they have become advisors to the Eigenlayer Foundation.

Introducing LottoPGF: a (not so) new way of funding public goods through decentralised lotteries as a new tool in the coordination mechanism toolbox.

Onchain Summer is back. This summer, everyone can be a builder, and Base and our partners are offering over 600 ETH¹ ($2 million) in prizes…

For the past twenty one days I have been obsessed with a decentralized project called Higher. If interested in the origin lore you can read more here.

At its core, Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) embodies a vision of collaboration and collective success.

Base believes in a future internet where a billion people participate onchain, joining a global economy enabled by a new internet. We love to see others also making this vision a reality, and we believe that what Farcaster is doing with Frames is empowering builders in a special way.

Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) is an economic flywheel that rewards positive impact to the Optimism Collective. Without public goods funding, core tools and infrastructure required to keep blockchains running and ecosystems thriving might not have the resources for ongoing operations, or building their vision in the first place. Optimism’s vision is to create a strong incentive for the creation of public goods, resulting in an ecosystem where collaboration becomes the winning strategy.

In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Optimism is pioneering a path towards a collaborative Superchain ecosystem—one where all chains are on a level playing field, and where that which benefits one benefits all. The Collective focus is bringing users onchain, regardless of which OP Chain that is. As Optimism transitions into an open-source Superchain, dedicated to sustainably funding public goods, it's crucial to understand the changes and the principles guiding this transformation. This blog post will dive into what it means for the Collective to uphold chain neutrality as we work to cultivate a vibrant, successful Superchain ecosystem that benefits every stakeholder.
