when is the right time for FDD to seek additional customers to validate this vision?

A sybil defense network is a base level public good for the metaverse. It’s like having a fire dept.

What I think is super interesting is the possibility that we could one day export the sybil resistence created on Gitcoin to the rest of the ecosystem via something like a decentralized version of Proof Of Personhood Passport - basically enabling dApps to see how sybil resistence a user is in 1 API call.

The Gitcoin Anti-Sybil Flywheel

There is a large opportunity to promote sybil resistence in the web3 ecosystem that I believe that Gitcoin is uniquely positioned to help with. Why this matters By promoting sybil resistence (sockpuppet account resistence), we could move the ecosystem from 1-person-1-vote or 1-cpu-1-vote systems to 1-human-1-vote systems. This unlocks quadratic funding quadratic voting Gini coefficient measurements UBI one-person-one-vote DAOs data collectives sybil resistant airdrops & other use cases we h…

In fact, Sybill resistance is vital to many DAOs, and many are struggling how to protect their decision making and reward systems!
Proves a) the value produced in FDD work stream - and b) yes, agree - let’s explore how to make this a building block for Web3, and (yes!) a component in Gitcoin value streams and token utility.
I support that FDD work stream aims for the moonshot version because of the opportunities here - and I’m looking forward to see progress towards a PoPP in upcoming seasons!

We, Gitcoin, users and stakeholders are here to build a better way. Once this is built, the business model is not that of web 2. (Finding customers and extraction)

Couldn’t agree more!
