This interview is a part of our on-going series, where we highlight our epoch 3 participants.
What's Giveth?
Giveth is an open-source, transparent, user-friendly platform for crypto donations, allowing users to create funding portals with Zero added fees or intermediaries.
Why should Octant users vote for Giveth in epoch 3?
Giveth provides a free, streamlined user experience for anyone who wants to raise funds or donate in the web3 space. Creating a project can be done in minutes, and making a donation can be done in seconds. We support donations across 8 chains & networks: Ethereum Mainnet, Gnosis Chain, OP Mainnet, Polygon PoS, Celo, Arbitrum One, Ethereum Classic, and Solana. Verified projects are highlighted throughout the platform with added features like GIVbacks (donor rewards), and GIVpower (decentralized project curation). Giveth is the most accessible Web3 donation platform among those available. We operate 24/7 and regularly offer QF rounds for registered projects. A vote for Giveth implies a vote for over 3,000 impact projects.
Your project is interesting because:
During the bear market when impact-driven projects suffered the most, our team kept shipping to make sure Giveth stood as a solid rock for them, and successfully:
- Ran 3 quadratic funding rounds, raising ±$420k for projects on Giveth.
- Integrated Superfluid allowing “recurring” donations to be set up to flow to projects on Giveth.
- Added support for Multisig Wallets.
- Added Arbitrum and Solana as options for donation and fundraising on Giveth.
Progress in the last 3 months:
- Ran 3 successful quadratic funding rounds start-to-finish, raising ±$420k for projects on Giveth.
- Integrated Superfluid to allow for streaming “recurring” donations to be set up to flow to projects on Giveth.
- Partnered with Stake Together to create a liquid staking opportunity where users can deposit ETH, earn yield, and a % of their earnings go to supporting verified projects on Giveth.
- Added support for Multisig Wallets, allowing Multisigs to create projects, make donations and boost with GIVpower! As well now project owners have more options for better security and collaboration.
- Made many improvements to our infrastructure for QF, making it easier and more efficient to run & operate rounds.
- Upgraded our email & CRM platform to keep our communication with donors and projects smooth and efficient.
