Gitcoin Re-poster

Gitcoin 3.0 represents a strategic evolution while maintaining our original purpose. For the past 8 years, our focus has been on providing financial support to impactful initiatives. Now, Gitcoin 3.0 expands upon this legacy by directing capital toward areas that both benefit humanity and ensure the sustainability of their supporting ecosystems.

This alignment is particularly evident within the realm of d/acc. This sector encompasses critical fields such as decentralized identity, ZK systems, open source hardware, and biosecurity. These areas rely on non-extractive funding to expand and fortify the infrastructure that underpins them.

We believe the future internet will be constrained not by a shortage of ideas, but by the efficacy of funding mechanisms. Often, creators struggle to find resources, while benefactors are unsure where to direct their support.

To bridge this gap, we have categorized 20 domains along two distinct axes:

Atoms to Bits, spanning physical to digital defense.
Survive to Thrive, moving from threat mitigation to advanced coordination.

From privacy-preserving computation to resilient manufacturing, this structured approach forms our blueprint for financing the web of tomorrow.

Gitcoin 2026 Strategy — TL;DR

* **Lean Reset (AAA):** Our focus is on **Alignment** (funding what advances human thriving), **Alpha** (attracting and spotting high-upside builders), and **Accelerate** (moving fast with small, high-quality teams).
* **Coalition-First Funding:** We aim to demonstrate majority outside funding (60–70%) and surface high-signal builders via GG25.
* **Explore, Then Scale:** We plan to run low-burn, timeboxed experiments in 2026 to validate traction and legitimacy, moving to recapitalization and scale only after receiving clear success signals.

While Gitcoin 1.0 (2020) functioned as centralized QF, Gitcoin 2.0 (2024) has evolved into decentralized QF. Looking toward the future, Gitcoin 3.0 (2026+) is being constructed to support the decentralized plurality of ways we can fund what matters in the 21st century, comprising a whole portfolio of mechanisms, case studies, apps, and providers.

"Claude, let's upgrade public goods funding for the 21st century.

We need to remove power from the bureaucrats and intermediaries.

Let us build a parallel society where we fund what truly matters. Use AI/crypto for the difficult parts. Ensure it is a bottoms-up, P2P, and privacy-aware system that gives power to the people. Make it 'solarpunk meets cypherpunk.'

Then, pull the plug on the coercive statist bureaucracy and route the funding to the new infrastructure.

Please make sure the important things get funded before, during, and after the transition.

Notify me when completed. Make no mistakes."
