At Octant, our mission is to foster a thriving Ethereum ecosystem where critical projects receive sustainable funding. Octant v2 continues this mission by providing tools and products that are accessible to any Ethereum-based project.

Since its inception in 2023, Octant v1 has launched 90-day “epoch” funding rounds to explore new models for funding and community governance. Over $18 million in grant funding has been distributed to impactful projects on Ethereum across 10 epochs. The funding model was simple: lock $GLM, earn ETH every 90 days, and let the community decide how matching funds are allocated. These epochs supported Ethereum’s builders, core developers, creators, and public goods — powered by 100,000 staked ETH from the Golem Foundation.

Today, Octant operates as an independent project dedicated to building tools that help ecosystems earn, allocate, and grow through DeFi. Octant v2 includes institutional-grade vaults and a comprehensive funding management toolbox — featuring Octant Atlas, the Regen App, and Funding Round Operator tooling.
