Lisk DAO Grants - Season 1

At Lisk, we believe that founders drive real Web3 adoption—but they need more than just infrastructure. They need access to funding, community support, and opportunities that enable sustainable growth. That’s why Lisk DAO Season 1 is more than just a governance initiative—it’s a strategic effort to accelerate adoption, empower builders, and strengthen our position within the Optimism Superchain. Following the approval of the Lisk Season Strategy and Season 1 plan by Lisk Governance, Lisk DAO Season 1 officially kicks off, running until June 11th—in alignment with Optimism’s Season 7. Season 1 is centered around the theme “A Foundation for Real-World Acceleration”, laying the groundwork for long-term growth through structured incentives and transparent governance. The focus? Supporting founders, driving network participation, and expanding Lisk’s impact across high-growth markets. Lisk DAO Season 1: Key Intents Inspired by the Optimism Collective’s approach to drive meaningful progress, Season 1 is structured around five core intents, each with measurable outcomes: Make contributing to Lisk DAO engaging and rewarding – Increase governance participation, enhance funding transparency, and educate the community on L2 economics. Accelerate Lisk programs and builders – Provide funding and support for developers to create new tools and applications. Grow Lisk’s Total Value Locked (TVL) – Expand liquidity and network usage by increasing the adoption of non-LSK assets. Strengthen Lisk’s contribution to the Superchain – Increase cross-chain activity and grow revenue shared with the Optimism Collective. Provide insights for the LSK token burn vote – Publish mid-season and post-season reports to inform data-driven community decisions.
