PowerPool is excited to announce its partnership with Gitcoin — an innovative platform that provides developers and open-source projects with funding opportunities and tools for collaboration.

PowerPool will be issuing Direct Grants via Gitcoin Grants Stack

Gitcoin Grants Stack is the first-ever decentralized, customizable, smart contract-enabled solution that connects grants program managers, project owners, and community members.

Gitcoin Grants Stack allows prominent developers to get funding to drive innovation in the blockchain industry

Gitcoin’s newly launched Direct Grants mechanism on Grants Stack allows managers to allocate funds directly to developers and the projects they create. It complements existing tools for developers to get the funding they need to create the next wave of innovative products.

This article shares why the Grants Stack’s Direct Grants tool aligns perfectly with PowerPool’s funding activities to foster future builders’ adoption and ecosystem expansion.

Flexibility and control

With Gitcoin Grants Stack, PowerPool can fund specific projects or developers directly, without going through a crowdfunding campaign.

Sustained support for developers

Grants Stack allows for recurring donations, which means PowerPool can provide sustained support for ongoing projects. This is particularly important for open-source projects that require ongoing maintenance and development.

Driving web3 innovation

Grants Stack provides another avenue for individuals and organizations to support the open-source community and help drive innovation in the blockchain industry.

Thanks to this collaboration, PowerPool will be one of the first Gitcoin Grants Stack partners to use this new Direct Funding mechanism to onboard and provide funding to PowerPool Builder Grants recipients.

PowerPool Builder Grants

PowerPool offers Builder Grants of up to $20,000 to developers who want to build new or integrate PowerAgent automation into existing products. Our partnership with Gitcoin Grants Stack will streamline reviewing grant applications, selecting grantees, and distributing funds, making it simple and transparent for everyone.
