Advance Token Engineering: Projects must advance token engineering within one of the following categories: tooling, research, education, social infrastructure, consulting.
Turtleshell advances token engineering specifically in the category of tooling by developing on-chain firewalls for smart contracts, enhancing security for DeFi protocols.
Contribute to the Superchain: Projects must contribute to the growth and development of Optimism or the broader Superchain ecosystem. Applications must include the following elements:
- Description of the long-term vision for impact
- Specification of short-term goals and milestones within the scope of the grant
- Agreement to participate in TEC's impact evaluation process leading to the Retroactive funding round in November
The project has clearly outlined its long-term vision of creating a robust security framework for DeFi protocols within the Optimism and Superchain ecosystems. It has also specified short-term goals and milestones in the grant application and agreed to participate in the TEC impact evaluation process leading to the Retroactive funding round.
Project Credibility:
- Summary of project’s existing work with relevant links
- Verified Github and/or Twitter account
- Brief bios of the project’s team members
The project has provided links to existing work such as the Circuit Breaker SDK, security dashboard, and fully functional PoC. Github and Twitter accounts are verified, and the team members' bios, particularly for the lead developer Valerio Fichera, showcase relevant expertise in blockchain security and development.
Returning Grantees:
