Octant is an Ethereum public-goods funding protocol that lets users lock GLM tokens to earn rewards and direct matched funding toward open-source builders. Octant's Twitter Score is 86 out of 1000 (a Good rating) as of July 2026, ranking #10,422 (top 5%) among 531,432 tracked accounts.
Octant was founded by Golem Foundation, which stakes 100,000 ETH and channels a fraction of the resulting staking rewards into a pool every 90 days. Users lock GLM, earn ETH rewards, and participate in recurring public-goods funding rounds that allocate matched capital to Ethereum and open-source projects. The protocol launched on Ethereum mainnet on August 8, 2023.
Octant is currently transitioning from its first iteration to a newer version. Octant v1 is being sunset, with future Golem Foundation funding rounds moving to Octant v2, which introduces ERC-4626-compliant vaults and a funding-management toolbox supporting mechanisms such as quadratic funding and quadratic voting. GLM remaining in v1 no longer accrues individual rewards.
Octant is affiliated with Octant Labs and has established partnerships with Diva Staking, announced in December 2023 with a focus on decentralizing Ethereum staking and supporting public-goods funding, and with Ethereum Name Service on a public-goods funding round covering Ethereum infrastructure, utility, and education. Octant's portfolio includes Solidity, ECH Institute Inc, EthStaker, Metagame, Argot Collective and Ethlabs. Octant has published 17,276 posts and has been mentioned by 184 accounts a total of 954 times.
