How does this round align with Gitcoin’s mission 2 and essential intents?
- We are the only community round in Gitcoin Rounds that is dedicated to funding public goods in the global Chinese community. It is crucial for popularizing the concept of public goods in this market of 1.5 billion people and increasing Gitcoin’s influence in this area.
- GCC has extensive connections with Chinese media and communities. As a community fund ourselves, we can mobilize Chinese users to support the round, creating better network effects.
- In our project selection, we will prioritize projects that cover cutting-edge technologies, research fields, institutional design, or those that focus more on the developer community. We won’t chase short-term trends but emphasize long-term thinking.
-
What do you anticipate the size of the matching pool will be (either fundraised from partners, raised independently through your connections, or a combination of both)?
25000 DAI.
