Partnering with ENS (Ethereum Name Service) for a special Quadratic Funding round on Giveth was a no-brainer. Both are community driven and Ethereum-first!

As we build towards Octant v2, it's a meaningful way for us to double down on our Ethereum alignment by supporting projects working on Ethereum infrastructure, utility, and education.

There's an $80,000 USDC matching pool on Optimism, and after hundreds of applications, we've got 99 impactful projects participating in this round.

⚠️ Warning! This is not a recap post - The round is live! 🔥

As of now we now we have:

1136 Donations!
Totaling 11,367.87!
and counting!!
