Rewarding the Community - Gitcoin Citizens Round #1

[shawn16400]

@Supreme

While I am happy to submit a proposal, I also wonder if the operations of Gitcoin are transparent, as I am unsure that the foundation of Gitcoin is working towards decentralization, as it seems centralized to the core.

Not sure how to define “centralized to the core” but it is true that the Gitcoin decentralization journey is nowhere near complete, and we have a long way to go. That said, I am pretty confident that our processes allows for a wide variety of ideas to be presented, debated, and those ideas that have merit, stand a good chance at funding. For examples, have a look at the past 7 or 8 GCPs recently passed.

But, if you want to have a go at it - here are the guidelines and in this case section 3 is likely most relevant.

Sorry to hear about the experience of this friend of yours, we appreciate the help of anyone pointing out exploits and abuse. I am also not sure who you are referring to when you say ‘they’ banned her without any authority

Same here - this case does not sound familiar but it is absolutely possible we made a mistake. DMs are open and happy to work through any issues. shawn16400#5507

Is there a proper procedure that ya’ll have to demonstrate a vulnerability in your Governance System that leaves it exposed to sybil attacks and 51% attacks ?

Not sure what scope you are looking for here. A known risk of quadratic funding/voting is the sybil attack and most DAOs governed by a tokens have a a 51% attack risk.

Thanks for the questions and I encourage you to nominate anyone you see helping tackle those issues for Gitcoin.

We know we have a TON of amazing people who give freely of their time because they believe in what Gitcoin is trying to do. The Gitcoin Citizens round is an attempt to thank them for their work, and we ask your help to find those stars.
