There is a new category on Gitcoin grants named “Greater China” web3, which Bu Zhi DAO applied under to gain support the conference we are hosting in December 12-17, [Taipei Blockchain Week](https://www.taipeiblockchainweek.com). This article we want to demonstrate how you can use gitcoin to vote and support us and our partner [Hepta: Education](https://gitcoin.co/grants/7392/hepta-protocol-support-donation-and-incentivize-l) with a tiny donation amount with an outsized impact.

1.  Sign up for [Gitcoin](https://gitcoin.co/grants/explorer?page=1&limit=12&me=false&sort_option=weighted_shuffle&collection_id=false&network=mainnet&state=active&profile=false&round_num=0&customer_name=false&sub_round_slug=false&collections_page=1&grant_regions=&grant_types=&grant_tags=*Greater+China&tenants=&idle=true&featured=true&round_type=false&tab=grants) account via Github
    
2.  Add [BZD](https://gitcoin.co/grants/7641/bu-zhi-dao-taiwan-web3-education) and [Hepta](https://gitcoin.co/grants/7392/hepta-protocol-support-donation-and-incentivize-le) into your cart
    
3.  Donate a tiny amount, your participation matters more than the amount because of quadratic funding!
    
4.  Update your [Gitcoin Passport](https://passport.gitcoin.co/#/dashboard) to 3x your impact (validating you are a real human)
    

Here are loom videos in both [English](https://www.loom.com/share/5c5668db15df45e0af6fe30b746dedfa) and [Chinese](https://www.loom.com/share/a19caca3e2b148bebbaf6eafd36ebf85) on how to do this.

The way Gitcoin grant works is quadratic funding, meaning the number of participants matters more than amount of donations. As an example

Here’s a [Chinese article](https://medium.com/@viviantp6/%E8%AE%93-web3-%E6%88%90%E7%82%BA%E5%8F%B0%E7%81%A3%E7%9A%84%E4%B8%8B%E4%B8%80%E5%BA%A7%E8%AD%B7%E5%9C%8B%E7%A5%9E%E5%B1%B1-2d81ece9396a) written by Hepta founder Vivian on more reasons why supporting Web3 in Taiwan is important. Key takeaways is:

*   Taiwan has an open source civic hacker culture for 10 years such starting with the famous [g0v](https://twitter.com/g0vtw) started by Audrey Tang
    
*   Taiwan has a vibrant developer community with strong execution powers, a great place for any experiments
    
*   Web3 is beyond politics and borders, and supports individual autonomy for a future decentralized society that the [Taiwan ministry of digital affairs](https://moda.gov.tw/) is experimenting with.
