# Project Submission Process – Epoch 8

If you’re seeking funding during Octant’s next Allocation Window, follow the steps below.

⚠️ Before applying, make sure your project meets Octant’s funding eligibility criteria.

# Step 1: Complete the Submission Form

Fill out the Octant Epoch 8 Submission Form (opens new window) between: 🗓 May 22 – June 3 11:59 pm PST

This form is required for all applicants. It collects your project details and forms the basis for evaluation.

Note: For Epoch 8, only this form is required — no separate Discuss post or Discord thread needed.

If you have any questions reach out to: [email protected].

Engage with our community by joining our Discord server (opens new window).

Start by completing captcha verification in the _captcha_verification! (opens new window) channel to gain full access to community channels. Then introduce yourself in the Introductions (opens new window) channel.

Octant’s Discord is a dynamic space for exchanging ideas, resolving questions, and discussing project ideas—helping foster collaboration with the community.

While not strictly required, being active on Discord increases your chances of securing funding, as it's the primary space where GLM lockers learn about and interact with projects.

# Step 3: Internal Review & Selection

The Octant team will evaluate all submissions based on the eligibility criteria and the following priority areas:

  1. Direct impact on Ethereum mainnet security, scalability, or sustainability
  2. Critical infrastructure for the broader Ethereum ecosystem
  3. Long-term public goods serving multiple Ethereum stakeholders
  4. Technical innovation and strategic alignment with Ethereum’s roadmap

📆 Selection Period: June 4 – June 16
✅ Selected projects announced: June 17

# Step 4: Submit Project Assets

If your project is selected, you will be asked to provide final materials (logo, hero message, short description, admin wallet, URL) for inclusion in the Octant App (opens new window).

📆 Asset Submission Window: June 17 – June 24

This ensures your project appears in the App during the Allocation Window.

⚠️ Make sure the wallet address you provide does not have GLM locked into Octant.

Using Octant funds to purchase GLM and lock into the app is strictly prohibited and may lead to disqualification.
