Announcing Superfluid Builder Grants to Accelerate Money Streaming on Optimism
--
This summer, we submitted a proposal for an Optimism grant to incentivize builders and crypto-native companies using Superfluid to deploy and stream salaries on Optimism. Given our growth to date and the beneficial network effects of money streaming, we were awarded with 150,000 OP tokens to incentivize asset streaming usage and liquidity on Optimism.
This grant consists of two phases. The first phase is focused on encouraging teams building with Superfluid to deploy on Optimism, while the second phase is dedicated to incentivizing salary streaming on Optimism (we’ll share more info about it at a later date).
Phase 1: Superfluid Builder Grants
75% of the total grant (112,500 OP) will go towards our Superfluid Builder Grants.
We plan on releasing grants to 1–2 teams/projects per month, with each individual grant ranging between US$5,000 — US$20,000 in OP tokens.
Each grant will be distributed as follows:
- 50% will be given as a lump sum to encourage project completion
- 30% will be distributed after successful deployment on Optimism
- 20% will be distributed upon seeing that the app is improving usage and liquidity on Optimism. Metrics we’ll be keeping an eye on include the following:
– How many users the app has brought to the OP chain
– The total volume streamed through the app on OP chain
– Meaningful synergies/partnerships with existing Optimism apps
