Epoch 5 Update

Phase 2: Grow the directory to include at least 200 well-known projects building on Arbitrum across various domains (eg, DeFi, gaming, developer tooling, governance tooling, etc) with up-to-date, fully indexed data from on- and off-chain sources.
Details: We will source, auto-validate, and human-verify each submission before it gets merged to the canonical OSS Directory. We will incentivize community submissions based on the mechanism developed in Milestone 1. Once the data is accepted, we will trigger indexing jobs going…
