Matching results from GG18 are live! – GG19 Opens NOV 15th

  • This round achieved a new high with $680k crowdfunded from 328k contributions, showing a 12% increase from the Beta round and a 65% increase from the Alpha round. – making it the biggest ever on the new decentralized tech stack. Check out the detailed updates posted by @umarkhaneth

A way to reduce the governance burden through AI digests of proposals?

  • One common pattern in DAOs is that they are impacted by excessive governance burden, which comes from the need to moderate online forums (like this one), consume proposals easily (getting to the point), differentiating proposals (the good from the bad). Would you like Gitcoin to implement the visual solution for governance burden that @skyfoxx is proposing?

Governing Allo v2

Allo S19 Progress Update

  • We are rapidly approaching the next budgeting cycle, take a moment to catch up on what the Allo team has been up to this season. @nategosselin has shared a comprehensive overview on key milestones and Goal Scoring, hoping that it can be a useful reference for community members as you review our upcoming S20 budget.

Better Impact Funding: Gitcoin :handshake: Green Pill Network

  • @owocki proposes an MVP of “Better Impact Funding” enabled by integrating multiple regenerative communities, describing how to achieve Greenpill.network & Gitcoin-alignment through HyperCerts based impact funding and Gitcoin QF Street Teams :seedling:

Setting Guardrails and Best Practices for Partnerships

Embracing decentralized integrity: from Founder to Contributor in a new cycle

  • Asking “What is Gitcoin’s endgame?” means asking “what is the realistic vision, strategy, and roadmap going forward?” @Owocki is still figuring out how to contribute productively to Gitcoin and will be having conversations with various people associated with the DAO, around what needs to be done and where he can help out. Reach out if you have any feedback :handshake:

:ballot_box: GitcoinDAO Governance Overview:

  • Snapshot polls GTC Stewards. Tally performs on-chain actions.
  • Proposals that have on-chain steps, such as budget requests, are approved on Snapshot before moving on to Tally.

:bar_chart: Active Proposals:

  • Ratify the Results of GG18 and Formally Request the Community Multisig Holders to Payout Matching Allocations (Go vote on Snapshot before OCT 3)

  • @rohit requests feedback on his working prototype for Grantee Discovery Using LLM-Enabled Conversations. The prototype allows users to ask questions, propose work descriptions, and seek assistance for GG participation. The tool is designed to maintain fairness, avoid biases, and not manipulate users’ grantee preferences by focusing on enhancing interactions, memory capabilities, guiding users to reliable sources, and capturing feedback.
