We’re excited to share what’s new!
We’re back with our monthly update for all things Gitcoin: Gitcoin Grants, Grants Stack, Gitcoin Passport and Allo.
Gitcoin Grants 18(GG18) completed this week! The round was live from Aug 15 - 29, and had a total $679,938.87 donated, with 328,660 total donations and 47,513 unique donors. Next up, the team will do Sybil squelching before the results are posted and opened up to a discussion, followed by a vote to ratify the final results.
Thank you to everyone who participated in Funding What Matters. GG19 will happen before the end of the year, and the Gitcoin Citizens Round is around the corner! Stay tuned for more details to follow.
GG18 was the biggest round ever run on Grants Stack! New this month:
- We shipped Multi-Round Checkout, which enables donors to check out projects participating in different rounds across different chains, all in the same cart – a big win for the user experience on web3, so thank you all for your feedback.
- Check out our case study on the inaugural Citizens Round, where we used retroactive QF to vote on and reward the contributions of Gitcoin Citizens
- TLDR; “Out of 60 applications, 33 were accepted and projects received $82,968 from over 17K donors. This amount amplified our matching funds by ~400% - a new Gitcoin record!”
- Check out our latest Release Notes, updated weekly!
- Want to schedule a demo? Sign up here to be contacted by a member of our team.
