This section outlines templates that projects funded by Octant should use when participating in Octant funding and be sharing on the Octant Discuss Forum (opens new window). Templates include:

1. Project proposal template: This template should be used when first making a submission to Octant and the project has made it through the eligibility check.
2. Short-term reporting template: This short-term update template is for the subsequent epoch a project's participating in after initial submission. For example, if your first epoch participated in was Epoch Four and you're now participating in Epoch Five, you would use this template.
3. Long-term reporting template: This long-term update template is the main template for reporting and should be used for projects where it's been 2 or more epochs since their initial application. For example, your project was first submitted in Epoch Three and it's now Epoch Five, Six, Seven, etc.
4. Karma GAP impact criteria: Following being funded, project's will be expected to set up and update their project's Karma GAP profile.

The funds received from Octant have been primarily allocated to development work, including:

• Backend Development: Completion of contract and backend work for Gitcoin Passport integration, utilizing a custom API and on-chain verification hybrid approach to support multiple networks and minimize on-chain costs.
• Disputability Process Design: Development of the Disputability Process and Tribunal Safe UML, enabling community members to challenge proposals that may violate the community’s Covenant, with arbitration by a designated Tribunal Safe multisig.
• User Interface Redesign: Significant progress on the UI redesign to ensure a cleaner, more intuitive experience for the public beta launch.

These efforts have been instrumental in advancing the Gardens v2 platform towards its launch.
