Today's the big day. Our migration epoch is finally here.
Here's what you'll have to do:
1) You allocate the way you would every allocation window on https://t.co/jg5moVvQTH . Only difference is there aren't matching funds, and you can only allocate to @ProtocolGuild or yourself (or both)
2) Next, you click migrate. You'll see a few prompts on unlocking, changing the token allowance, and locking into the new contract.
3) Check https://t.co/rgS2JIu117 to see your locked GLM on our new app.
Here's a detailed guide by @nicnode on how to do it.
As always, we're here to answer any questions. Happy migration day!💝
🥁🥁🥁 After an amazing two weeks in Berlin, we’re ready to share our big news. Our Epoch 8 cohort! 🥁🥁🥁
But some notes first. This was an incredibly competitive round. As we gear up for v2 and get more experimental, we made some tweaks this epoch
We defined our theme and what we wanted to fund: teams advancing Ethereum's roadmap in 4 areas
🔹 Direct protocol improvements
🔹 Shared infrastructure
🔹 Open dashboards, datasets, or studies
🔹 and finally protocol-level research and specification work
Why so specific?
This is a result of learnings from past epochs. We’ve realized having more designed themes and categories helps in selection and more importantly evaluation later. You can’t compare projects when the round and categories are vaguely defined. It would be like comparing apples and oranges.
And how’d we decide?
Because this was a more specific round, instead of a Snapshot vote, we selected the cohort through multiple internal reviews.
If you applied in this epoch, you probably noticed a more detailed application process. This was intentional so we’d be able to work with as much information as possible and more datapoints for the final selections.
We had multiple review cycles, including due diligence and technical reviews. Our selection boiled down to a few factors, including direct impact, past verifiable contributions, critical infra needs, strategic importance to Ethereum’s roadmap, and clear verifiable deliverables. With hundreds of talented applicants and only 30 spots, it was tough making this decision.
That said, we were SO impressed with everyone, and we’re feeling more bullish than ever about the future of Ethereum.
So who’s part of the cohort?
Without further ado, please welcome our Epoch 8 cohort:

1/ Big announcement to share! We're joining forces with @divastaking to drive impact to both Ethereum's staking landscape and significantly bolster regenerative public goods funding.
Wildland's website is live! Head to https://t.co/Dabd1RsiK7 to read the Wildland paper, check the protocol's main features, and get to know the team behind it.
If you're using an RSS reader, make sure to subscribe to our blog feed. Interesting posts are on the way.
#WildCon1 is on. @rootkovska and @julianzawist are explaining the 3 layers of Wildland: the Forest of Knowledge, the Infrastructure and the Marketplace.
"People do not interact with raw data anymore. They use on-line services instead. Their data is being monetized, and they do not have control over the underlying infrastructure. We aim to change that. Wildland is a system in which the user is a sovereign" @julianzawist. #WildCon1
We are happy to introduce our use-case pipeline. What does this mean? well, read our post. You will really get to choose your own Golem :) https://t.co/EJhA1OMBz9
We are really looking forward to our meetup in #Warsaw next week with @hoardexchange and @omise_go! come join us for great talks, abundant pizza and tasty beer! https://t.co/RGQ5fcf3E9
