Resources
Gitcoin (GTC) is a decentralized platform that seeks to empower communities by offering technologies and opportunities to fund, build, and protect what matters to them. The platform's core products include the Gitcoin Grants Stack, a grants management solution, Allo Protocol, an open-source funding protocol, and Gitcoin Passport, a decentralized identity management tool. GTC, the platform's governance token, was launched in May 2021 and plays a crucial role in the creation and funding of the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) that governs Gitcoin.
Gitcoin operates by utilizing its core products to facilitate community-led initiatives. The Gitcoin Grants Stack is a solution for managing grants, enabling communities to create, manage, and grow their own grants programs. The Allo Protocol is an open-source funding protocol that provides a way for communities to distribute pooled funds. Gitcoin Passport, on the other hand, is a tool for managing decentralized identities and defending against Sybil attacks. GTC, the governance token, enables community ownership and decentralized stewardship of Gitcoin's products, protocols, and programs.
Gitcoin strives to provide a platform for funding and building public goods initiatives in various sectors, including decentralized finance (DeFi), climate, and open sourcing. Gitcoin has distributed over $54 million to early-stage builders through the Gitcoin Grants Program. The platform also offers a suite of tools for managing grants programs, allocating shared resources, and protecting projects from bots and bad actors. Furthermore, Gitcoin Passport allows users to create a digital identity and prove their humanity without storing personally identifiable information.
Gitcoin was founded by Kevin Owocki and Scott Moore. Since its inception, the platform has evolved from a monolithic platform to a suite of modular protocols, embracing mechanisms like Quadratic Voting, Direct Grants, and Retroactive Public Goods Funding. Gitcoin has contributed to creating over $29 billion in global financial impact and has cultivated the "Quadratic Lands," an ecosystem focused on community building. The GTC governance token was launched in late May 2021, marking a milestone in the platform's journey towards decentralized governance.
