Introduction

Badgeholders play a pivotal role in the FIL-RetroPGF program. As a badgeholder you’re responsible for judging applications and determining how much funding each project will receive.

For the network to evolve effectively, it is imperative badgeholders are discerning and opinionated experts, so the strongest projects can be selected for. The collective decisions you, as badgeholders, make, incentivize and update the network’s state, contributing to setting network course. As such it is also crucial for badgeholders to disclose and avoid voting on any projects where they have a Conflict of Interest (explained here).

The decision making of badgeholders has two effects:

• Firstly, it routes funding to the most impactful projects, ensuring their sustainability.
• Secondly, by showing that strong projects are being funded, new contributions are spurred to contribute, accelerating the creation of new impact. Innovation arising from new entrants is a critical factor for the network's success.

Huge thank you to all badgeholders for sharing their time and insight. The success of FIL-RetroPGF and its contribution to the Filecoin network depends on the input of badgeholders.

This rest of this document contains information and guidelines badgeholders should consider when allocating FIL in FIL-RetroPGF-3.
