Onchain impact metrics for Optimism Retro Funding 4

AI summary of the linked article

Open Source Observer is working with the Optimism Collective and its badgeholder community on a suite of impact metrics for projects applying to Retro Funding 4, the Collective's first Metrics-based Evaluation experiment. Badgeholders will vote by selecting and weighting metrics rather than voting on individual projects, with the goal of arriving at up to 20 credible metrics. The metrics rely on public datasets covering six Superchain networks (OP Mainnet, Base, Frax, Metal, Mode, and Zora), and include gas fees, total transactions, and interactions from trusted users, where trusted users must meet at least two reputation criteria. The RF4 scope period runs from October 2023 to June 2024.

In contrast to other Retro Funding experiments, badgeholders will not vote on individual projects but will rather vote via selecting and weighting a number of metrics which measure different types of impact.

Actually, a few people already tried to explain this to me, but reading your article made it finally click for me! That's so interesting and it kinda makes me wonder how we'll do at Kiwi News. Because, for example, we're not doing too bad in the Trusted Optimism MAU/WAU/DAU category :)

It’s pretty cool seeing the (preliminary) data for the (preliminary) metrics.

I think projects with loyal communities of real users will do wellv- Of course, that’s after the bachelors to the

whoops, dictation fail

Of course that’s up to the badgeholders to decide

This focus on quality users looks very promising.

I have one concern here, though. Counting interactions seems to be transaction-focused. This makes sense since the idea is to subsidize projects that generate blockspace demand. However, for Kiwi, the only interactions visible onchain are Kiwipass mints, which show only a tiny part of the bigger picture.

Do you think there would be a way to include the Kiwi Protocol interactions somehow?
