This interview is a part of our on-going series, where we highlight our epoch 2 participants.
What's Gitcoin?
Gitcoin creates onchain grants and identity management solutions that let communities govern their shared resources with trust and transparency. Through our Gitcoin Grants program, we've distributed over $56m to early stage builders championing projects across Ethereum infrastructure, open source software, climate solutions and beyond. Our core products include Gitcoin Grants Stack, our end-to-end grants solution, Allo Protocol, our open-source funding protocol, and Gitcoin Passport, our decentralized identity management tool.
Why should you vote for Gitcoin in epoch 2?
Steadfast dedication to our mission and vision has made our Gitcoin Grants Program the largest quadratic funding event in web3, funding early-stage builders championing projects across DeFi, climate, open source, and beyond. In this way, Gitcoin is a public good, with every contributor and builder focused on a future where thousands of funding rounds run concurrently, distributing capital optimally and governed by the communities they serve.
Cool metrics:
- $56M distributed through Gitcoin Grants
- $28.2B Grantee Market Cap (all-time high)
- 270k Unique supporters
- $3M+ fraud prevented
- 3,715 projects funded
What will the funding be used for?
Funding from Octant Epoch 2 will fund future OSS rounds during GG20 and deploy community QF/RPGF rounds with Octant/ Gitcoin aligned ecosystem partners. GG20 is currently planned to run in Q2 once we finish key UX upgrades to the Grants Stack platform.
