Overview

The goal of Optimism’s Retroactive Public Goods Funding is to retroactively allocate rewards to realize impact=profit — the principle that positive impact to the collective should be rewarded with profit to the individual. This principle serves as a North Star, motivating the creation of a more productive and sustainable economy.

In previous RetroPGF rounds, badgeholders have requested a closer definition and understanding of both impact and profit, how they are defined and applied in practice. This document aims to provide guidance to badgeholders on how this can be achieved. Disclaimer: This framework reflects the Optimism Foundation’s vision for RetroPGF. Individual badgeholders may adopt this framework or apply their own

Defining Impact

The Impact Evaluation Framework

Think of it as your compass as you go through reviewing RetroPGF applications. In it, you’ll find audiences, definitions, and metrics on impact for each category of this round, which you can leverage to inform your voting.
