Impact

- The original idea to build the website came after reading a feedback thread on the forum and getting the impression that many find it difficult to keep up to date with information about grants ("adhering to the deadlines often required navigating a maze of forum posts") - With more than 7900 unique website visitors and 1840 outbound link clicks in the last 3 months, the site has played a key role in helping many (prospective) grantees, developers and governance participants stay informed about recent updates and upcoming deadlines of the grant programs - Subscribers to the weekly newsletter include employees from OpenZeppelin, OP Labs, Wakeup Labs, … - Governance Forum thread has 593 views and a total of 31 likes
