Gitcoin Grants Round 18: Results and Recap ๐งฎ
Whether improving Ethereum, educating developers, guaranteeing onchain privacy, or fighting for crypto in DC, builders have used Gitcoin to connect with their community and make a lasting impact.
Gitcoin Grants 18 (#GG18) was the latest iteration of the quarterly quadratic funding rounds that ran on the decentralized @GrantsStack.
This round saw increased crowdfunded contributions above the previous two rounds on @GrantsStack โ making it the biggest ever on the new decentralized tech stack.
With $680k crowdfunded from 328K contributions, we saw a 12% increase in donations and three-fold growth in the number of contributions relative to the Beta Round.
Gitcoin Grants 18 is just 8 days away! ๐
TL;DR on #GG18:
- $1M matching funds for Core Rounds
- 4 Core Rounds
- Community-led Featured Rounds
- Applications are open until the 15th, with an early bird deadline of midnight UTC on 11th (which guarantees you a review before the round goes live!)
