Octant aims to become the first self-sustaining global public goods funding ecosystem that balances the common good and individual financial empowerment
We are building Octant to advance the understanding and practice of decentralized governance, promote community engagement, and support public goods projects in the Ethereum and Web3 ecosystems.
Initially it is intended for the community of GLM token holders, but all are welcome. Note that GLM tokens are required for locking.
Lock at least 100 GLM with Octant to earn user rewards in ETH. By the end of the epoch, your rewards will be determined by a time-weighted average: the longer you keep your tokens with Octant, the more you'll earn. After the epoch ends, you can either withdraw your ETH or contribute it to shortlisted public good projects. Donations receive an added boost from the matching pool, amplifying their impact.
Absolutely! You can join Octant whenever you wish.
No. You retain full control of your tokens.
Golem Foundation has staked 100,000 ETH from its treasury, allocating a portion of the staking yield to Octant.
The Golem Foundation’s mission is to bring value to the GLM ecosystem, and Octant is one project produced as part of that mission.
That might depend on your jurisdiction, but GLM is widely available on most exchanges, decentralised and otherwise.
Initially the Golem Foundation will take the lead by setting some basic eligibility criteria while seeking community input for project suggestions. Ultimately the process will be completely community-driven.
