We at rotki are excited to provide an update a month after having received funding from Octant.
First of all, a very big thank you to everyone who voted for us and helped us continue on our quest to build opensource tools that enable you to own your data and protect your privacy 
What we worked on since the grant payment
We made two releases, 1.31.0 and 1.31.1. The first one being probably the biggest release we have ever made containing 444 commits from 22 different contibutors. For more details check the links above but the feature highlights are:
Gnosis chain support
🇧 Base chain support
UI redesign
Velodrome protocol
Accounting rules customizability
🇼 Support for Woo centralized exchange
Users will be able to export a CSV of history events directly from the history view. Filters also applied!!
What’s on the roadmap
We are now working on bugfixes found by the users which should be released before the new year in 1.31.2. And working on 1.32.0, our next big release coming next year with support for new exchanges, more protocols and a lot of improvements. Can see more in the milestone: 1.32.0 Milestone · GitHub
Usage of funds
All funds we received in the previous epoch, along with any future funds are spent on the same thing. Paying salaries of our developers to they can keep building. We are also looking for people in order to expand the team.
A new developer has joined the team in December, though we had to let some people go to keep the team lean and performant.
Grant donations/funding
Since the last epoch we have gotten funding from:
- Gitcoin grants: $~3k in the infra round. The matching amount is still to be determined.
- 0.3 ETH * 2 from two participations ENS small grants
- Have applied for ENS large grants. No result yet.
- Participated in Optimism RPGF, no result yet.
- Got awarded (but not paid out) an arbitrum grant of 40k $ARB. It’s a milestone based grant, tied on development of arbitrum protocol integrations and will be paid out once completed.
These sound be our grant/donations income and activity since the last epoch if memory serves.
Other sources of funding
rotki has a premium subscription tier on top of the free OSS code. From there we get different amounts per month as revenue, depending on the number of active paying users at the time.
In November this was ~3.5k EUR.
Keep in mind that all of these sources of funding, including Octant grant carry tax obligation for us which is very roughly ~30-35% in Germany for companies.
