Application for Optimism Season 9 - Growth Grants

Milestone — First 40% (400,000 OP) By the end of week 9 from campaign launch, Re7 Labs will demonstrate: 1. Targetting $8M - $10M TVL in the vault — verifiable on-chain via the vault contract's total assets. This represents the lower-bound TVL scenario and is the minimum threshold before the Growth phase begins 2. Uniswap v3 WETH/mRe7ETH pool deployed and incentivised — 0.05% CL pool live on OP Mainnet with OP rewards actively flowing to LPs, demonstrable via on-chain gauge or distribution contract 3. OPTIONAL - At least one institutional custodian integration live - Anchorage Digital or equivalent live with the vault as a verified yield destination. Already verbally agreed to this but need to get paperwork etc finalized and negotiated.

Milestone — Last 60% (600,000 OP) By the end of week 24 (campaign close), Re7 Labs will demonstrate: 1. Target of $15M TVL sustained through the Growth phase (weeks 9–16) — vault total assets verifiable on-chain at or above $10M, confirming that bootstrap liquidity was retained as incentives stepped down from 6% to 4.8% 2. TVL retention above $8M at week 24 — after the Maturity phase step-down to 4.0% APY, at least 70% of peak TVL remains. This is the primary test of whether incentives built sticky liquidity rather than mercenary capital 3. Two or more institutional custodian integrations live — Anchorage Digital plus at least one additional custodian or self-custody wallet actively using the vault as a yield destination (most likely BitGo if we can find a large lender) 4. Organic rate demonstrably self-sustaining — borrowing utilisation on the mRe7ETH Morpho market sufficient to generate ≥3% supply APY without OP top-up, verifiable via on-chain market parameters at week 24 5. DEX pool maintaining liquidation-grade depth — Uniswap v3 WETH/mRe7ETH pool holds sufficient TVL to support atomic liquidation of a meaningful position (e.g. ≥$250k swap with <1% slippage), verifiable on-chain
