Gitcoin Launches GG22: $1.2M+ in Funds to Support Open-Source Software
With GG22, Gitcoin returns to its original mission of funding open-source software (OSS) and public goods. Offering over $1.2M in matching funds, this round brings new tools for donors and focuses on scaling OSS and digital public goods.
Key Details:
- Dates: October 23 - November 6, 2024
- $1M allocated to 4 OSS rounds
- $125K for 7 Community Rounds
- New features include Mint Attestations and Quick Bridge
Grants = Growth:
Since 2019, Gitcoin Grants have funded over 6,000 projects, allocating more than $63.9M to public goods. Many of the most impactful web3 projects received early support from these rounds, contributing to the ecosystem’s growth.
What’s New in GG22:
- Mint Attestations: Donors can now mint attestations—on-chain proofs of their donations, offering transparency and future rewards for contributors.
- Quick Bridge: This feature enables donations across multiple blockchain networks, simplifying the process with a token swap feature during checkout.
Enhanced Sybil Resistance:
GG22 introduces more robust Sybil resistance strategies, including Connection-Oriented Cluster Matching (COCM) and Model-Based Detection. These measures ensure that only legitimate, community-backed projects receive funding by verifying donor activity on major blockchains like Ethereum and zkSync.
