PANews reported on February 6 that Optimism tweeted that a new Retro Funding program has been launched with a reward scale of 8 million OPs. The focus area is Dev Tooling, and the rewards will be used to support builders who develop applications and tools on the super chain. The program will run from February 5 to July 31 and is now open for applications. All applied projects must be open source, must have a public GitHub repository, and have a history of public submissions. The rewards are expected to be distributed monthly starting in March.
