As a way of saying thanks for this year gains, I just contributed to @Gitcoin grants GR12 from my @zksync wallet ($5 in total tx fees). If you also were lucky this year, I invite you to do the same and share with those that are building this amazing web3 ecosystem [https://gitcoin.co/grants/](https://gitcoin.co/grants/)

These are the 8 projects I liked and chipped in: a. [**@zokratesproject**](https://twitter.com/zokratesproject) working on a framework that will facilitate the development of web3 apps + zk Tech

b. [**@Sismo\_eth**](https://twitter.com/@sismo_eth) is building a solution that will let us build a web3 profile, sounds awesome

c. [**@wslyvh**](https://twitter.com/wslyvh) created ethgas.watch. I love the app and I'd like to see it grow further

d. [**@OptionalFinance**](https://twitter.com/optionalfinance) will let us follow option traders and replicate their trades. eToro onboarded many users into TradFi, and so I see OptionalFinance will move users from TradFi to DeFi

e. Today DeFi & NFT are getting the hype but once regulation catches up, attention will turn to identity projects. [**@proofofhumanity**](https://twitter.com/proofofhumanity) will help us build that

f. [**@poapxyz**](https://twitter.com/poapxyz) - POAPs are nice, cute and I like them

g. [**@vocdoni**](https://twitter.com/vocdoni) is developing a solution that applies zk tech on a critical area of communities: democratic elections. Team is based in an area where democracy is a hot topic, this makes me feel quite confident that whatever they build will be authentic and awesome.

h. [**@rotkiapp**](https://twitter.com/rotkiapp) - it is a great app and its founder shares the Ethereum values for privacy and decentralization.
