FIL-RetroPGF-3 will progress in the following stages:

  1. Stage 1: Project Showcase

    September 22, 2025 - October 13, 2025

    This phase gives projects a platform to highlight their impact on the Filecoin ecosystem. If you've been building in the Filecoin space, this is your moment to showcase what you've accomplished since November 2024.

  2. Stage 2: Application Intake

    October 13, 2025 - November 3, 2025

    Once the Application Showcase concludes, projects will move on to submit a more detailed intake form. This submission will help badgeholders assess your project’s impact from November 2024. Projects must clearly outline their contributions and impact within this form for consideration.

  3. Stage 3: Badgeholder Evaluation & Voting

    November 3, 2025 - November 21, 2025

    Votes will be aggregated from the badgeholders and allocate funding to projects accordingly. The amount of funding each project receives will be based on the badgeholders' collective decision.

  4. Stage 4: Vote Aggregation & Funding

    December onwards. Funds will then be disbursed to projects.
