Quadratic Funding and How Gitcoin Raised $60M for Public Goods - Kevin Owocki
Manage episode 417528650 series 41400
5 years, 20 Grants, 3715 projects crowd-funded and over $60M raised towards public goods funding, from 4.2M unique donations. Gitcoin’s headline numbers are indicative of the massive success their quadratic funding (QF) and public goods funding models (PGF) have seen over the years. With Gitcoin 2.0, crowd-funding is further decentralised, Allo Protocol being open-source and permissionless: any ecosystem treasury can create their own Gitcoin Grants program to help their community fund what matters to them.
Topics covered in this episode:
- Kevin’s background and Gitcoin’s journey so far
- The utility of Gitcoin Passport
- Gitcoin Grants sybil protection dilemma
- Public goods & capital allocation
- Quadratic funding (QF) & retroactive public goods funding (RPGF)
- New allocation models introduced by Gitcoin 2.0
- $GTC token utility & decentralising Allo Protocol
- The current landscape of DAOs
