On this bonus episode for the ZEROPOD feed, we are re-broadcasting a conversation with Pifafu from OP Labs that took place on our weekly RETRO RADIO Twitter Spaces all about retroactive public goods funding from Optimism, Gitcoin, Nouns and others. Pif takes us through her career, including stints at Patreon and GitHub before joining OP Labs, and talks about why she thinks what Optimism is doing with RetroPGF is so important. We hope you enjoy!
