As of July, our coverage included: 2,385 projects (+10% from June), 46K open source repos (+23% from June), and 127M smart contracts. The smart contract figure includes “discovered contracts” downstream from project deployers or factory contracts. In June, there were 10,619 active contributors across these projects — up from 10,396 in May.\\n    - **Funding Used**: na (however, this was approximately 15% level of effort for the team)\\n- **Milestone 2**:\\n    - **Description**: Launch of data exchange.\\n    - **Immediate Outcome**: We launched the [OSO Data Exchange](https://www.opensource.observer/data), a free public data exchange that in includes every model in the OSO pipeline, raw blocks/transactions/traces across 7 chains in the OP Superchain (OP Mainnet, Base, Frax, Metal, Mode, PGN, Zora), GitHub repo and developer activity, Gitcoin Grants and Passport, OpenRank, Farcaster, and Lens datasets. In the first month, more than 5 developer teams signed up for access and consumed a combined 90 TB of data.\\n    - **Funding Used**: na (however, this was approximately 50% level of effort for the team)\\n- **Milestone 3**:\\n    - **Description**: Protocol metrics v1.\\n    - **Immediate Outcome**: We powered Optimism’s latest Retro Funding round with protocol-level impact metrics. OSO worked with Optimism’s Citizen House to develop 16 onchain impact metrics and apply them consistently across 230 projects and 6 OP stack chains. Read all about it [here](https://docs.opensource.observer/blog/impact-metrics-rf4-deep-dive). This work directly informed the allocation of 10M OP.\\n    - **Funding Used**: na (however, this was approximately 35% level of effort for the team)\\n- **Karma GAP**: https://gap.karmahq.xyz/project/open-source-observer\\n\\n\\\"\\\"\\\"\\n### **Challenges**\\n\\n- **Previous Challenges**:\\n    - **Description**: In the last submission, we highlighted the challenge of scaling our data processing infrastructure to handle the increasing volume of data from various sources. We tripled our data volume since the last epoch, and now have more than 200 models running on top of it. This put a huge strain on our existing infrastructure, leading to performance bottlenecks and slower query times.\\n    - **Updates**: We have made significant progress by deploying a new GraphQL API service built on a scalable Clickhouse cluster, which has notably improved query performance.\\n    - **Resolution**: The resolution involved a lot of backend work to upgrade our infrastructure, specifically by swapping out CloudSQL with Clickhouse, and wiring up the new GraphQL API endpoint. We also enhanced our documentation for developer teams to better understand how to interact with the new API service.\\n    - **Lessons Learned**: One of the key lessons learned is how rapidly data processing costs can escalate as data volumes grow. We are now more mindful of the need to continuously optimize our infrastructure to ensure efficient data processing and delivery.\\n\\n### **Outputs and Outcomes**\\n\\n**Outputs (Last Epoch)**:\\n\\n- **Output 1**: Launched the OSO Data Exchange, offering a free public data exchange that includes models and datasets from 7 chains within the OP Superchain.\\n- **Output 2**: Powered Optimism's Retro Funding round with 16 on-chain impact metrics, applied across 230 projects and 6 OP stack chains.\\n\\n**Short-term Outcomes**:\\n\\n- **Outcome 1**: Increased community engagement, particularly among developers integrating our data into their projects, as evidenced by new integrations like Pairwise, Retrolist, and RetroPGF Hub.\\n- **Outcome 2**: Observed high demand for the OSO Data Exchange, with over 5 developer teams signing up for access and consuming a significant amount of data (90TB) within the first month.\\n\\n**Long-term Outcomes**:\\n\\n- **Outcome 1**: Helped Optimism allocate 10M OP based on the impact metrics provided by OSO, demonstrating the potential of comparable impact metrics for other funders in the ecosystem.\\n- **Outcome 2**: Increased coverage to 2,385 projects, 46K open-source repos, and 127M smart contracts, providing the most comprehensive, fully open source / open infra view of the Ethereum ecosystem for developers and data scientists.\\n\\n    **Metrics for Outcomes:**\\n    \\n    1. **Funding Allocation**: 10M OP allocated by Optimism based on OSO's impact metrics.\\n    2. **Data Utilization**: 90TB of data consumed by developer teams within the first month of launching the OSO Data Exchange.\\n    3. **Coverage Expansion**: 10% increase in projects, 23% increase in open-source repos, and 127M smart contracts covered by OSO.\\n    4. **Project Integrations**: total of 9 teams currently integrating OSO data into their projects (five via the OSO Data Exchange and four via direct API access).\\n\\n\\n### **Plans for Potential Funds Raised in the Next Octant Allocation Window**\\n\\n- **Goal 1**:\\n    - **Description**: Expand the OSO Data Exchange to include additional data sources (eg, software dependencies) and integrations with other L2s.\\n    - **Expected Outcome**: Increased adoption of the OSO Data Exchange across multiple ecosystems, leading to greater coverage, more ecosystem-specific insights, and more integrations with developer partners.\\n    - **Funding Needed**: approx $10K per month per chain for indexing and storage costs, plus metrics for ~200 projects per chain.\\n- **Goal 2**:\\n    - **Description**: Develop advanced analytics and visualization tools to better showcase the insights derived from OSO data.\\n    - **Expected Outcome**: Reboot of the OSO website to include timeseries datasets, artifact-level page views, and dynamic ecosystem reporting (eg, live stats for all Octant Projects).\\n    - **Funding Needed**: $50,000 (this will be the focus of our Epoch 4 funding)\\n\\n### **Other Funding**\\n\\n- **Grant Funding Received Since the Last Epoch**: We have not received any new liquid grants since the last epoch.\\n- **Other Non-Grant Funding Sources**: n/a\\n\\n### **Future Plans for Financial Sustainability**\\n\\nWe are lean, and our primary costs are infrastructure and developer salaries. We are exploring recurring revenue streams and backstopping grants with some of our L2 partners. Octant funding makes a huge difference in our ability to continue to grow and scale our impact!\",\"title\":\"\"}"}}]
