ShapeShift DAO contributed to Optimism in two primary ways:1. Integration of OP Mainnet across ShapeShift's open-source stack in February 2023. 2. Implementation of an OP Growth Grant (Cycle 11) for a novel incentive program executed in partnership with Gitcoin Passport and Thrivecoin. A no-sale rule was implemented by the Growth Council starting in Cycle 10, and ShapeShift DAO therefore shouldered all building costs associated with this program to support the End User Experience & Adoption of Optimism.
The no-sale Growth Grant onboarded over 27,000 unique users to OP Mainnet with 23,542 bridging txns, 22,311 swap txns, and over 1,648 fiat onramp txns.
