We are beyond humbled, grateful, and excited to be awarded an @Optimism grant for smart-contract auditing security.
A big shout out and thank you to @SpearbitDAO@cantinaxyz teams and @jack_anorak for leading the charge making sure people on Optimism remain as safe as possible.
LFG !!! Optimist get ready to launch your own NFT/ERC-20 Onchain Raffles !!!
Retro Funding is at an inflection point and the decisions we make will set the incentives moving forward.
Under consideration is the enabling of voters to exclude projects that permission the reuse of so much as a single line of contract code.
A reductive view of openness. 👇
Optimism Retro Funding has a new rule that will change the builders landscape on OP moving forward.
Optimism just released a new rule for projects eligibility for Retro Funding.
Badgeholders will have the right amplify or outright exclude Non Open Source projects.
This new rule should be much more controversial with extended substantive debate.
Example: @Uniswap V3, which changed DEX landscape single-handedly used a BSL (restrictive license, which gives devs time until code goes open source)
Under Open Source Initiative definition Uniswap use of BSL license would be considered “closed source”.
If Uniswap was dependent on OP, it would run the risk of receiving 0 retro funding!
Revolutionary product’s like concentrated liquidity may not have been built under this framework.
Thus, developers building cutting edge tech (like Uniswap team) who sought temporary competitive edge with BSL before going full Open Source would be shunned away from Optimism Retro Funding.
We don’t have a crystal ball, but this at least adds more questions than clarity to teams seeking to build long term products on Optimism.

Show your impact, but note that voters will have the option to exclude it with one click if you’ve got so much as a single line of code in your repo that requires any kind of permission to reuse.

Farcaster the X (Twitter) "Killer"
Who doesn't know, FC is a Web3 X-like platform built on Optimism
In one month, FC has 350,000 "people" (bots, maybe).
FC users own their identity.
FC users can interact onchain.
FC users can play games.
No doubt X devs are taking note.
Experimentation is the mother of success
Next week we will be announcing our next onchain raffle, campaigns both on X and @farcaster_xyz and see what gets best results.
Sneak peek:
You will spend 0 dollars to purchase a ticket entry. More details next week! Happy weekend!
@farcaster_xyz is a top-notch example on de-social legos.
At Farcaster we will be pushing the limits on fully onchain raffles, of which has not been seen before.
