Growth Grants prioritize proposals that increase Superchain TVL, with special attention to:
They still allow Fees as a target in the final milestone, but the application copy is TVL-first and even calls out the TVL sub-buckets above. Think of Fees as an acceptable alternative/secondary while TVL remains the headline.
Note: the form text mixes “TVL in USD” (header) and “TVL denominated in ETH” (question 9). To be safe, present both in your packet (ETH as primary, USD as convenience) and state your pricing source.
