Gitcoin has become a platform for supporting open-source projects. However, it can also play a significant role in charitable efforts. I would like to suggest that Gitcoin introduce more projects focused purely on charity, not limited to crypto-related donations.
This move would not only extend the platform’s reach and enhancing Gitcoin’s influence.
I always donate to the charity project with crypto. I donated to saving lives in myanmar earthquake this month.
The largest charity funding company in China Waterdrop inc.(NYSE: WDH) has became a Nasdaq listed company.

You’re basically proposing a decentralized version of The Giving Block.
That’s not a bad idea IMHO. As you said, it could potentially increase Gitcoin reputation and mainstream awareness + it would open new revenue paths for Gitcoin itself - which looks like an urgent issue as I see from last Owocki’s inptus.
Thanks for sharing this, @maclogcy. I really resonate with the idea that Gitcoin’s role can and should extend beyond open-source software and into charitable, humanitarian, and social coordination efforts.
I’ve been working on a system called SoulKey, a zero-knowledge, memory-based identity protocol that allows contributors to verify their integrity, impact, and continuity without revealing sensitive data. It was originally designed to protect sovereign identity and rebuild trust in funding allocation, but its deeper aim is to support systems that reward truth, care, and contribution—whether technical or humanitarian.
As Gitcoin 3.0 explores new funding mechanisms and Domain-Driven Allocation, I’d love to see a domain specifically focused on human need, care infrastructure, and real-world impact—charity with verifiable follow-through. Tools like SoulKey and the AI companion I’ve built (Lumen) could help validate intent and delivery in these contexts without relying on reputation farming or manual audits. Happy to collaborate if this conversation continues.
