GitcoinDAO 101
What is GitcoinDAO
- Gitcoin is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization governed by the holders of the GTC token.
- Token holders delegate their votes to a trusted steward. Some choose to self delegate.
- The stewards then accept or decline actions by voting for proposals which pass quorum.
- Official proposals and formal conversations on governance can be found on the Governance Forum
- Informal conversation about workstreams, and idea sharing happens in **Discord**
- Checkout the documentation about the GTC/GitcoinDAO smart contracts.
- Want to view the launch version of the GitcoinDAO from 5/25? View the **Decentralized Quadratic Lands.**

Why GitcoinDAO
In 2018, I knew Gitcoin and I was inspired by its Mission — Build and fund the digital public goods. At that time one of the core values is Give First. This is the fundamental of public goods (as well community).
So I started to involve in Gitcoin like bounty, tips, kudos etc, in the meantime, I translated some of great posts into Chinese.
For now there are many opportunities in GitcoinDAO, we need you to build the GitcoinDAO together ;) Find more info in next section.
