I think token gated grants are a good idea to ensure long term alignment and are most def needed.
Haha, I am here ser 
still believe in Gitcoin, it’s mission and happy to help where I can.
Would like to just share that…Gitcoin has been one of the more special places in web3, IMO it was one of the few DAOs that actually tried to decentralize, which has overall hurt Gitcoin medium term…truth is that people create and also sometimes ruin the things we love.
As a silent observer, loud individual and believer I think that DAOs like Gitcoin should be more careful when onboarding contributors, everybody says they “would love to be here”, but how many actually would love it is the question We will see
