Thrive Launches Onchain Funding Program to Award 3M OP to Base Builders

Thrive is launching a program to distribute 3 million OP tokens, awarded by Optimism and sponsored by Base, over 12 months to builders who can deliver measurable results onchain. The program targets growth in launchpad asset transaction volume on Base, with a focus on trading interfaces such as Telegram trading bots and DeFi apps. Funding is split into quarterly distributions of 750K OP tokens to top performers, ranked by verified transaction volume after quality filtering. Applications are open on a rolling basis starting July 24, volume tracking begins August 7, 2025, and participating projects must be KYC'd and are subject to the OP Foundation's 1-year lockup.
