Hey, folks! In this post we have a look at the Epoch 8 results.

Epoch 8 ran from April 11 to July 24 2025. The theme was Design for Ethereum.

Working together we managed to distribute a whopping 460 ETH (~$1.7M) to the Octant community in the epoch!

This impact wouldn't be possible without every single person who took part. Thank you for trusting us, for allocating, and backing the teams that are making Ethereum stronger. Together we made the following possible:

ā­ 170.38 ETH claimed by users
ā­ 14.04 ETH donated by users
ā­ 275.58 ETH matched by Octant
ā­ 20x average matching
ā­ 289.62 ETH donated to projects
ā­ 30 projects supported

Check out the exact amounts allocated to each project on the graphic below:

Few hours left to allocate!šŸšØ

This is your final reminder: just a few hours left to allocate in Epoch 8. Get your individual rewards, allocate to projects. Octant epochs are pretty positive-sum for everyone. BUT not if you don't allocate. There's some pretty deserving projects that are doing incredible work. If
