The Optimism Collective’s second round of Retroactive Public Goods Funding (Retro Funding) took place in Q1 of 2023.
RetroPGF 2 allocated 10m OP tokens to **fund public goods that support development and usage of the OP Stack.**

Optimism’s vision is to build a global system where positive impact to the collective is rewarded by profit to the individual.
RetroPGF is an experimental mechanism to realize this goal of **“impact = profit”**.
Retro Funding is an experimental mechanism to realize this goal of **“impact = profit”**.

By funding public goods sustainably, the Collective can create a rich ecosystem and a better economy ✨
