    Giveth reputation DAO “rGIV” migrated to Optimism Network

Impact

Minime -Used by Lido, every AragonOS DAO & many others -Forks of Minime (ERC20Snapshot.sol & ERC20Votes.sol) are used by countless DAOs including Optimism. They enable $OP’s DAO governance! ScalingNow! -Liam.eth, ex-CEO of OP Labs, and many others attended our free IRL gathering in 2018, undoubtedly leading to better coordination in this niche space. Giveth Donation App -Used by Protocol Guild, Dappnode, Curia & 1000’s of other OSS & traditional nonprofits to market their projects & give them an alternate funding stream outside of RetroPGF -We onboarded hundreds of public goods projects to Optimism & now they are part of the Collective 😃 GIVeconomy Migration -Our economy rewards every donor & staker with streaming GIV rewards that run until Dec 2026, locking them into Optimism.
