The CalibrationNet Stability Project CalibrationNet needs a certain amount of power for testing upgrades, SP technologies, and smart-contracts. The Curio team used their batch sealing, fast snap, and a CalibrationNet-optimized Boost to increase QAP by hundreds of TiBs in just 12 hours using the 5 machines available. QAP growth on this stack is going. |

Introduction
This thread is the kick-off for the project showcase phase of the recently announced FIL-RetroPGF-2.The vision is to build on the success of FIL-RetroPGF round 1 and reward work that has measureably impacted the Filecoin ecosystem. RetroPGF is an experimental mechanism to realize this goal of “impact = profit.”
Round 2 involves distributing 300K FIL to projects that have shown impact in the previous 6 months (April - September 2024).
Overview of Timelines
What is the Showcase?
In Round 1, applications were pre-screened for eligibility in a Nomination Phase before being invited to apply. This time, eligibility will be checked directly in the Application stage. However, applicants will still have a chance to show off their projects ahead of the full application in a visibility stage called the Showcase phase.
This is intended to give an additional platform for projects to share and promote what they’ve been building, and to keep the excitement and community engagement of the Nomination phase.
Anyone may showcase their project for FIL-RetroPGF-2! Specific instructions for how to showcase are listed below.
How to Participate?
Step 1. Submit a GitHub comment – Briefly describe your project below with the following details
- Project Name
- Project Category (see below for the categories as part of Round 2)
- Brief 50-word description of your project
- URL e.g. project website or github repo
Step 2. Spread the word – Share your comment on Twitter or other social media, tagging the Filecoin and FIL-RetroPGF account to engage the community and maximize visibility. An example post is given below:
Important Note: Sharing your project on social media is a great way to spread the word about building in the Filecoin ecosystem. Badgeholders will be advised that increasing visibility this way is valuable, and be advised to take it into account as a factor when scoring projects.
Project Categories for Round 2
Filecoin-RetroPGF-2 will distribute 300K FIL to public goods that support Filecoin in one of the following categories:Note: The Filecoin Stack refers to the OSS code powering Filecoin, its dependencies, and related codebases.
The purpose of this thread is to provide visibility and feedback on ecosystem projects, and to showcase the impact being created.
Project Showcases will close by 14th October 2024.
