What’s new?

Release Notes are here :slightly_smiling_face:

  • Fantom Wallet Integration – In light of a recent hack and to avoid deterring users, only valueless GTC vote tokens will be used during testing phases.

  • Direct Grants Integration – Still in research mode, however, the team is exploring how to bring less crypto-native communities into the Gitcoin ecosystem. The plan is to enable the Gitcoin Grants Program and PGN engage with more ‘normie’ philanthropic communities.

  • Notable L2 Integrations – Deploying GS to Arbitrum, with potential integrations with other L2s coming soon

  • Other Updates – Updated Grants Stack One Pager & GeoWeb Case Study Brief in progress

Is there any plan to introduce wallet which will auto validate Gitcoin passport holders when connecting with third party dapps, I bet that will be a game changer.

Not that I know of @gulliverz. If it is not listed in the DAO Digest as an item, it is likely not being worked on (or even being scoped).

Right now Gitcoin is squarely focused on several products and ensuring their success (and only their success): Grants Stack, Allo, Passport, Gitcoin Grants, and PGN.

We have started talking to Metamask about potentially incorporating Gitcoin Passport into MM Snaps. In this scenario a dApp could read a Passport score directly from MM Snaps. Is that along the lines of what you’re thinking?

Somehow, It relates actually. However, I was thinking more expanded like in Layer3 tasks, whenever any task is completed or not, they can verify it just by connecting a wallet to their site.
