Gitcoin’ve run 12 quarterly grants rounds so far, which have collectively raised over $36 million for public goods, funding many projects like Uniswap, Dark Forest, Coin Center, POAO, Bankless, etc. Besides participating in the incubation of projects on Ethereum ecosystem, the donators also stand good chances to claim valuable airdrops from Gitcoin.

Currently, the GR13 is kicking off, lasting half a month(from March 9th to March 24th ).

Founded in November 2017, Gitcoin is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) platform that incentivizes developers to work on open-source projects.In the beginning, it was just a bounty platform, mainly to help project owners post bounty programs.

In February 2019, Gitcoin officially launched it’s initial Grant Round, with a result of 56 participants, 44k$ total donation.

With the development of Gticoin, the team has released many products like Hackathons, Grants, Kernel, and Kudos, etc, literally boosting the progress of open-source projects.So far, Gitcoin has provided almost $40 million of funding for open-source software and helped over 43,000 funders reach an audience of over 230,000 earners. Over 310,000 developers are active per month on Gitcoin. 

Gitcoin’ve run 12 quarterly grants rounds so far, which have collectively raised over $36 million for public goods, funding many projects like Uniswap, Dark Forest, Coin Center, POAO, Bankless, etc. During the GR12 in December 2021, the number shows that 3 million dollars were raised by 272k funders, which makes it the biggest round of funding on Gitcoin ever.

The overall structure for Grants Round 13 is similar to Grants Round 12, where we’ll again have three types of rounds:

1. Main round of $1.2M, primarily funding projects in the Ethereum ecosystem

2. 9 Ecosystem rounds(ZK Tech, Open Gaming, Polygon, ENS, Algorand, OlympusDAO, NFTs, Uniswap&Radicle)

3. 3 Cause rounds (Climate Solutions, Support for Ukraine, Longevity)

Enter the Gitcoin website, click the “Grants” from the “Products” section, enter the “Grants”, which is the home page of the GR13.

Click the “Log In” in the upper right corner, log in with your Github account, and authorize. If you are new to Github, please create an account.

Click “connect wallet” on the Grants Home Page, pick the right one. This passage take MetaMask as the example,.

Look through and choose your interested project from the project list on https://gitcoin.co/grants/explorer/, or just search the name of project, add your interested one to cart.

Click the project to view specific information, including the home page address, twitter, contract address, introduction, team information, etc.

Add the project you’d like to donate to cart, click “checkout”

Currently there are three Checkout options available：

Standard Checkout

Standard checkout is the easiest to use and initiates a direct transfer on Ethereum from your web browser wallet to the grant. However, the gas cost (transaction fees) for standard checkout may be higher.

zkSync Checkout

For larger cart sizes (up to 50 for zkSync), this rollup checkout method provides a much lower gas cost, but requires several extra steps in order to add funds to a zkSync account.

Polygon/Matic Checkout

For cart sizes 50+, Polygon checkout would be your best option, since Polygon doesn't limit cart sizes. Similar to zkSync, it requires several extra steps to bridge funds to Polygon, but again, offers much lower gas costs as compared to standard checkout.

As the Arsenal of Ethereum, for project team, Gitcoin is an incubator to promote projects, get investment, and attract technical talents. For developers, it is a stage to locate appropriate projects and exploit development capabilities. For investors, they can dig out some promising projects with great potential, funding it and getting involved in the incubation of it as early as possible, since many of the project will distribute certain amount of airdrops to Gitcoin donators in the future. Thus, Gitcoin is worth the attention from the crypto market.
