RetroPGF + Drip Lists = fire emoji
### Intro
As supporters of the inspiring work being undertaken by the Optimism Collective through Retroactive Public Goods Funding (RetroPGF), we've been closely following its evolution. RetroPGF's mission to reward positive contributions within the Optimism ecosystem has not only captured our attention but also earned our admiration.
In our pursuit of understanding the process and the rounds' progression, it became evident that while RetroPGF was making strides in incentivizing impact, the lists generated in the process were often based on traditional spreadsheets with broken links, lacking the permanence and accessibility they deserved.
To bridge this gap, we embarked on a mission to harness the power of Drips, a tool that not only transforms these lists into permanent fundable lists but also ensures their accessibility to anyone interested in the ongoing journey of RetroPGF.
### All it takes is a list
RetroPGF Round-3 was exciting in so many ways. We specifically loved how lists started becoming a thing within the Ethereum community, serving as collections of valuable information, recognition, and accountability. These lists can range from project rankings to contributor acknowledgments and projects receiving funding.
For the last two years we've been working on Drip Lists, which is a collection of Ethereum addresses, ENS names or Github repos, with configurable governance and a bunch of metadata. We think that Drip Lists are a perfect fit to supercharge curation of RetroPGF recipients, so we decided to make a few those and share them with the community.
### The Winners List
Let's start with the obvious one. Below you can see the list of all RetroPGF 3 recipients. Congrats to all the winners!

### Badgeholders' Lists
What was really cool (among other things) about RetroPGF Round 3 was that badgeholders have begun crafting their own lists to transparently communicate how they voted and, more importantly, why they made those choices. This brings greater openness and accountability within the RetroPGF ecosystem and was really well received by the community.
Below you can access all the lists that we found and you can fund them to eternity.
