In FIL-RetroPGF-1, anybody can submit a nomination. An important lesson from the Optimism rounds has been to avoid overwhelming badgeholders. To respect the time and effort of badgeholders and applicants, nominations will be reviewed before being invited to submit an application.

In FIL-RetroPGF-1, the round’s organizers will conduct the nomination review process, which will be lightweight and biased towards inclusivity.

FIL-RetroPGF-1 nominations will be invited to apply if the nominations meet three criteria:

• Aligned with the Filecoin mission — to store humanity’s information in a robust, decentralized, and efficient manner — and contributes to the ecosystem.
• Fit the category of public goods — non-rivalrous and non-excludable.
• Are nominated based on retroactive impact rather than seeking proactive funding.
