PGN is both a digital schelling point and the worldβs first L2 that works to create durable and recurring funding for public goods.
Joined July 2023
As PGN prepares for its network wind down in June 2024, we are committed to supporting users to withdraw their assets as efficiently and affordably as possible, including those who participated in @gitcoin #GG18 and #GG19. Following are best practices on how to off ramp assets.
@gitcoin PGN aimed to fund the world's public goods, driven by generating revenue via network sequencer fees and returning those funds back to public goods at large. After a thorough assessment, we have decided to wind down PGN over the next 6 months, tentatively closing in June 2024.

PGN is a L2 OP Chain, a highly composable EVM compatible rollup. The majority of net sequencer fees will go toward supporting public goods in Ethereum and beyond. We believe sustainable revenue sources for public goods are possible β.

In the future, projects can receive revenue directly through sequencer fees via Contract Secured Revenue. This aligns incentives between the network and the developers building on top of it. EIP-6969 makes this possible: .
EIP-6969 presents a generalized protocol which networks can reference to implement Cantoβs Contract Secured Revenue (CSR). Although this initial EIP targets L2 implementation, it can be applied to any network which uses EIP-1559 logic, including ETH mainnet.

Lastly, without promise of a future airdrop, as a native token is less aligned with PGN's financial model, we saw far less traffic than other emerging L2s. Ultimately the Tx volume on PGN was not sufficient to generate positive revenue.

PGN grows the pie of available funding for public goods, aligning devs and consumers. Devs automatically generate funding for public goods by running dApps on PGN, and users get a compatible, affordable alternative to Ethereum mainnet.

π PGN launched almost 6 months ago as a digital schelling point for public goods, with the goal of generating public goods funding via L2 sequencer fees. As a public good ourselves, we believe it's important to share learnings and updates to advance the ecosystem at large. π§΅.

PGN launched early, only behind Base, and Superchain interoperability infrastructure and developer tooling is still being developed. This made PGN's growth in this emerging environment particularly challenging for a small team.

Additionally, encouraging people to migrate without the convenience of a scaled network was challenging, and the resources needed to support this were out of scope with PGN's budget. Low liquidity on bridges, lack of DEXs and core infra like a Safe UI all caused large headwinds.

One of PGN's initial paths to success focused on Contract Secured Revenue (CSR). Unfortunately, CSR is not a technology we could implement alone on the Superchain, which meant that it could not serve as a key differentiator for our network.

From the beginning, PGN aimed to be more than a Gitcoin appchain, however we saw that without a dedicated dApp experience that was uniquely high quality on PGN, we could not compete with the increasing competition between L2s.

did somebody say schelling point?.
this is not a small matter. if you can build on something like @pgn_eth and potentially get some revenue back from the transaction you drive in sequencer fees, while ensuring the other revenue goes to public goodsβ¦. this is a major selling point.
