Gitcoin is a platform to fund builders looking for meaningful, open-source work. They’ve pioneered Quadratic Funding, a novel, democratic way to fund public goods in their quarterly Gitcoin Grants rounds. Since its launch in November 2017, Gitcoin Grants has now provided nearly $16M of funding to public goods.

Gitcoin is airdropping its new governance token GTC to various early participants of the platform. A total of 15,000,000 GTC has been allocated to GMV (Gross Marketplace Value), users who’ve done on-platform actions, KERNEL members, and projects who’ve participated in the Funder’s League.
