Trailblazers of Octant Exploring the Octant Ecosystem – which was generously supported by the Octant team, through their Community Development Fund. It started with a three part article series exploring the different facets of Octant, and building off that, in each episode of this series, we’ll highlight a different project creating impact in the Octant Ecosystem and how Octant’s innovative approach to public goods funding has empowered these projects to amplify their impact.
