About the program

Retro Funding rewards projects after they have shown impact, instead of funding promises. Each round focuses on one area, such as onchain builders or developer tooling.

Impact is assessed with a mix of onchain metrics and review, and rewards are distributed in OP.

What they fund

  • Developer tooling used by Superchain builders
  • Onchain apps with measurable usage
  • Protocol and infrastructure contributions

Who can apply

  • Projects with verifiable impact in the measurement period
  • Open-source code for tooling rounds
  • A registered project profile

How applying works

  1. Register your project

    Create a profile that links your contracts and repositories.

  2. Apply to the round

    Confirm your project meets the round's eligibility rules.

  3. Impact evaluation

    Metrics and reviewers decide how rewards are allocated.

  4. Receive rewards

    OP is distributed to eligible projects after results are final.
