Reward Impact

With Retro Funding

We're helping Optimism and other Retro Funding programs allocate millions in rewards and scale to thousands of open source projects.

How It Works

How It Works

OSO enables comprehensive ecosystem-wide measurement, enabling programs to evaluate impact for new and existing builders in high-growth settings. When paired with incentive programs, retro funding shapes behavior at scale.

Measure impact across an ecosystem

OSO measures every aspect of your ecosystem, from funding to developers to dependencies to user activity. Define impact your way with multi-dimensional metrics.

Automate rewards

Setup infrastructure to automatically incentivize thousands of builders at scale, without breaking a sweat on operations.

Incentive-aligned ecosystem growth

Builders win when you win. Drive ecosystem growth by rewarding impact in ways that align with your strategic thesis.

Leverage human judgement

Accelerate human input at every stage, from eligibility requirements, to reward payouts. Empower your managers to analyze thousands of projects easily.

Optimism

The Optimism Collective pioneered Retro Funding and has allocated 850M OP from its initial token supply to Retro Funding. Rounds run throughout the year and reward a range of contribution categories, from onchain builders to developer tooling, all powered by OSO metrics.

Filecoin

Inspired by Optimism's early success, the Filecoin ecosystem launched its first FIL RetroPGF round in 2024. The program rewards both technical and non-technical contributions to the success of Filecoin.
