Statement of Intention / Values & Reasons for Joining
I believe Gitcoin has been, and is on the road to be again, one of the most important Web3 communities / set of experiments in the world for innovation in regenerative public goods and capital allocation. I want to help deepen its legitimacy and decentralization by supporting governance processes, fundraising, and amplifying the role Gitcoin plays in funding ecosystem-critical infrastructure and grassroots local builders & impact.
