Token Engineering the Superchain Eligibility

This round aims to advance the Optimism (OP) and broader Superchain ecosystems by funding high-impact token engineering projects. We prioritize initiatives in tooling, research, education, social infrastructure, and consulting. Successful projects will show impact potential, feasibility, and alignment with OP's goals. Top grantees will be eligible for a follow-on Retroactive Funding round to reward their impact. More detail on these integrated grant rounds can be found here: https://bit.ly/3Yhf29o Grants admitted into this August round will be eligible to participate in a TEC retroactive funding round later this year, with awards based on progress against 2 milestones.
