OPTIMISM University Module in Costa Rica
by Juanbug_PGov - No Role
Posted on: July 19, 2024, 8:55 a.m.
Content: Hello team! Thanks for the email and thanks for the message. We’re excited to see the progress.
One thing we should note is that the final milestone tranche is unable to be released until the grant is completed in full. This might mean retroactive rewards for the students after everything is good to go, but unfortunately all critical milestones need to be completed before funds are unlocked.

- inbestprogram.eth: Thanks! We have now completed our critical milestone by graduating 25 students from the OPTIMISM course.
We are delighted with the results; not a single student left the module. Every single one who started it completed it and delivered a final project! The remaining rewards will be given retroactively for successfully completing the project.
We believe these results were achieved due to the selection process and the targeted promotion of the program in areas and to individuals with an interest in the niche. This approach ensured that every applicant was genuinely interested in the module.
It’s also worth noting that the rewards per student were relatively low, just enough to provide an extra incentive. This helped ensure that those motivated solely by monetary gain were less likely to enroll. While I suggest increasing the rewards in future modules, it is important to maintain a balance. If the rewards are too high, people may enroll only for the incentives.
We are about to post a summary of the final module here and will create a new topic to present and pitch all the projects to the community on the forum, giving visibility to the students. This video pitch is a requirement for them to successfully pass the module. Every team was required to pitch and explain their project in a 5-minute video and then post it here on the forum.
Since some students are having trouble posting on the forum due to the reply limit for new users, we are creating a new topic! i will link this new forum post here.
All the material used during the course will be uploaded and updated on the GitHub to allow anyone to replicate the impact!
Thanks for the support during the process.

Milestone Assessments for S6
by Juanbug_PGov - No Role
Posted on: July 18, 2024, 9:39 a.m.
Content: Milestone Completion and Accountability Review Season 6
The Milestones and Metrics Committee will be responsible for assessing and tracking milestones for grants that have reached the Final Review as well as finalists from Seasons 4 through 6 .
Milestone Hub
A Milestone Hub on the Grants Council Landing Page that serves as a space for grants finalists to report their milestone progress has been created. Over the course of the season, the Milestone and Metrics Committee shall assess whether the Milestone Hub is well-suited to its purpose and may, with the assistance and guidance of the Operations Manager, adapt the Milestone Hub as it deems appropriate.
Prospective Applications
In order to be considered as a finalist, an application must include multiple milestones. Milestones are intended to show good faith effort and a baseline of success toward the goals articulated in the grant application. Additional milestones (used to be called benchmark milestones) are intended to show impact to the Optimism Collective that can be used to assess the project in the future, and can be added to strengthen an application. The Milestones should be aimed at creating discrete, trackable milestones for each successful application.
At the beginning of each Final Review, the Milestones and Metrics Committee will review each application selected by each of the grant reviewers to determine whether the application’s milestones meet the standard of sufficiency set forth in the Milestones Guidelines.
In order to be eligible to become a finalist, an application must receive a favorable vote of a majority of the Milestones and Metrics Committee members verifying that the application’s milestones meet the standards of sufficiency.
Past Applications
The Milestones and Metrics Committee shall make recommendations to the Foundation or Optimism Collective as to whether or not to proceed with the remainder of past seasons’ Experiments and Builders grants. In general, the Milestones and Metrics Committee shall not recommend proceeding with a project unless all critical milestones have been achieved (per the vote of the Committee).
The Milestone and Metrics Committee is generally responsible for voting on whether or not milestones have been achieved. In circumstances where the Committee determines that it would require expertise beyond the capacity of the Committee, the Milestone and Metrics Committee Lead may submit a milestone for consideration of the Committee that originally voted to designate the application as a prior finalist. In such cases, the majority vote of the relevant committee shall be considered determinative.
Standard procedure
Applications for the continuation of a grant should be submitted to the Milestones Hub. (Season 6 will also be CharmVerse)
In general, applications will be reviewed only after a project confirms that all relevant required milestones have been completed. However, the Milestone and Metrics Committee may consider requests to review individual milestones in certain cases.
Absent an approval for a greater amount of time, critical milestones will be considered past due twelve months from the locking of the grant for Builders applications.
Milestones and Metrics votes shall be recorded.
Other procedures
In cases where a project has failed to complete its critical milestones in the allotted time, the Committee will default to recommending against proceeding with any further steps of the grant. Projects are free to voluntarily recuse themselves from a grant if they are unable to finish before the deadline.
In the case where a proposer makes a proposal to change the substance (or extend the time) of a critical milestone, the Committee may consider the change only if (a) the Committee determines that there is substantial good reason to support the request and (b) a super-majority of all of the Council reviewers vote in favor of the proposal.
When relevant, the Committee shall wait for the Developer Advisory Board to confirm the completion of the critical milestones prior to confirming completion to the Foundation.
The guidance in this section yields to any contrary rule, guidance, or vote from Token House or the Foundation.
Reviewer Metrics Accountability
Similar to Season 5 , the committee will ensure grant council reviewers communicate effectively with the grant applicants and are accountable for their work. For Season 6 , specific metrics and processes as mandated by the charter will again include: reviewer comment frequency on substantive rubric components, reviewer comments on failed intake applications, reviewer attendance of committee meetings, reviewer voting on committee and full council polls.
The metrics as a whole will possibly be adapted over the course of the season as best practices reveal themselves in this trial run period. The goal will not be to micromanage each reviewer but more so to identify and allocate additional support for those reviewers that need such, while also offering comparison between reviewers for delegates and token house members.
Official Record and Rule Changes
The Council will maintain a tracker of applications considered, finalists named, milestones for finalists, and the progress / completion of milestones.
On a bi-weekly basis, the Council may review the effectiveness of its internal procedures and make proposals for improvement. The Committee can amend the internal procedures by a simple majority vote of the members of both Committees (provided that any vote to amend the rubric comports with the procedures described above). Amendments will be recorded as a comment to this post.
Rules of Decision
If one or more Committee members abstains from a vote, a vote will pass by the simple majority vote of the remaining members, provided there are more than one voting members remaining. If only one member of a Committee votes, the result will be to take no action on the proposed matter. For instance, if the matter being voted on relates to whether or not to include an application in the final review, the result will be not to include the application in the final review.
Any Council-wide votes must include members of each Committee to achieve a quorum.
The Grants Council Lead may correct any clear errors in the Internal Procedures or resolve any conflicting provisions. For resolving conflicts, the Lead may submit a question of the best resolution to a vote of the Committee members, the results of which may be recorded on the Landing Page.

Season 6 Nominations: Grants Council
by Juanbug_PGov - No Role
Posted on: May 29, 2024, 4:38 p.m.
Content: Juanbug Self-Nomination
Hello everyone! It’s been a pleasure leading the milestones and metrics team last season and would love the honor of serving again! Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Council sub-committee: Milestones and Metrics
If you are a delegate, please provide the link to your delegate profile: PGov Delegate Committment
If you are a delegate, please indicate what % of votable supply is delegated to you: 1 . 14 % (Here)
If you are a delegate, please indicate your voting participation rate in OP governance to date: Karma Link: 100 %
Please link to your voting history and any voting rationale you’ve shared: PGov Delegate Thread
Please outline your contributions, and their impact, to the Optimism ecosystem to date:
S 5 Milestones and Metrics Sub-Committee: Was the lead for the first iteration of the milestones and metrics team with @mmurthy and @v 3 naru_Curia.
S 5 Code of Conduct Council: Was a member of the trial run for the Code of Conduct council.
Spearheaded the deployment of Compound III onto Optimism
Took part on initial Velodrome airdrop to MakerDAO multisig
Set up and ran FranklinDAO’s (Penn Blockchain) delegation when Optimism governance was first created over a year ago.
Active user for 2 + years, helping submit mission requests, submitting proposals for approvals, and partaking in other governance initiatives and activities (RPGF, Missions, etc.)
Do you have a technical background?:
I helped review many technical milestones as a part of the S 5 grants council; I also helped review, analyze, and follow up with teams that applied for grants from Near and Aurora ecosystems. I have a BS in Economics focusing on Business Analytics and Finance with 2 + years of experience in blockchain data analytics as well as basic programming skills.
Please demonstrate any non-Optimism experience you believe is relevant to this role and/or your sub-committee:
As part of the Uniswap Accountability Committee, our team has helped oversee and hold teams that are looking to deploy Uniswap v 3 onto their chain accountable. Particularly, many chains promise x rewards for deployments and it’s our job to follow up and ensure those are delivered, directly parallel to the milestone and metrics role of this job. I was also a grant reviewer and milestone analyst for the Near and Aurora ecosystems for over a year. An emphasis and focus for me was checking in with the grantees’ milestones on a constant basis, very similar to the experience I had on the last season of the council.
Some other relevant experience includes:
UADP (Uni/Arb delegate program): Responsibly managing delegate relations and interests for Arbitrum on behalf of Uniswap
Contributing to a fair and decentralized framework for Ichi
Delegate across projects such as: Uniswap, Compound, Arbitrum, Starknet
Have you previously served in a representative (appointed or elected) role in the Collective? If so, please specify which: S 5 Milestones and Metrics, S 5 Code of Conduct, Anticapture Commission
Please describe your philosophy on what makes a good Mission Application:
A good Mission should align first with the general Optimism vision and foundational goals. There should be net positives for the entire ecosystem as well as include impactful and logical milestones for funds.
What types of Mission Requests do you think will help achieve the Season 6 Intents?:
Requests that emphasize Optimism native projects first and foremost. In favor of add-on grants for teams and ideas that have already found a niche in Optimism and have shown product market fit. More emphasis for visibility and novel ideas.
Please disclose any anticipated conflicts of interest: If you are a top 25 delegate in another ecosystem, hold an elected position in another DAO, and/or are a multisig signer in another community please disclose here: Delegate in Uniswap, Compound, Arbitrum, Starknet; Committee member in Uniswap
Please verify that you understand KYC will be required to receive Council rewards at the end of Season 6 : I understand that KYC will be required to receive council rewards.
Please verify that you are able to commit ~ 20 hours / week to reviewing grant applications and other Council operations: I am able to commit 20 + hours/week to the duties of this role.
