The winners of $50K towards Ethereum’s open source ecosystem — Gitcoin’s mission is to grow open source. In 2019, we’ve raised over $100K for open source projects via Gitcoin’s OSS Fund, almost entirely within the Ethereum OSS community. The Gitcoin OSS Fund has had two matching rounds thus far, where $75K in funds were split up amongst Ethereum projects. Projects…

Reach out if interested in joining as an ethical advertiser! — We are excited to announce that CodeFund will be an ethical advertising partner for Etherscan!

The site is the industry standard for developers, investors, and others interested in reviewing transactions on Ethereum’s blockchain.

Sustaining ourselves to sustain open source — Open source software creates a lot of value for the world; but open source projects are not famous for their ability to capture the value they create. Gitcoin is no different. We’ve been live since 2017, and have done over $1mm in platform value since then. We famously did not…

Using Liberal Radicalism to direct $50K to Ethereum infrastructure projects — We’re excited to announce our 2nd round of experiments with Liberal Radicalism. We have $50,000 to support 42 well known Ethereum projects, and we need your help to help us direct this capital. Liberal Radicalism (otherwise known as ‘CLR’) is the matching algorithm to determine where the $50K will go. Instead of matching $1 for $1, CLR determines matching based on the square of the sum of the square roots of contributions received.

The grassroots effort to fund Ethereum’s OSS projects — On February 23rd at 5:36PM, EthHub creator Eric Conner sent a tweet.

Results and lessons learned from our first $25K in matching — A few weeks ago, we announced a radical experiment in Open Source Funding. Using the matching method outlined in Liberal Radicalism — a paper by Glen Weyl, Vitalik Buterin, and Zoë Hitzig, we announced a $25K fund to match any contributions made to 25 Ethereum infrastructure projects. Immediately, the community responded with support and feedback.

The Burner Wallet, Kudos, and Grant Matching, oh my! — Gitcoin was built in Colorado. It’s a big part of our culture and history, and we showed up ETHDenver in a big way to celebrate! 2019 has a lot of fantastic events lined up — and they all have to live up to high expectations set this weekend at ETHDenver…
