Gitcoin

Builders, be honest:

What’s one thing that almost made you give up?
And what kept you going?

We think about this a lot at Gitcoin.

Gitcoin 3.0 is about network-first funding.

Sensemaking is step one:
→ Community input
→ Structured interviews
→ Theme mapping
→ Synthesis

The goal? Fund what matters - not what’s trending.

If Ethereum is an infinite garden…

What are we not planting enough of right now?

(Real answers only.)

Funding public goods isn’t just a technical challenge.

It’s a legitimacy challenge.

Who decides what matters? Who gets a voice? What earns trust?

Gitcoin 3.0 doesn’t have all the answers - but it’s creating the container to ask better questions, together.

What’s one underrated builder or project more people should know about?

If you’re solving a niche but critical problem in Ethereum, chances are:

→ You’re overlooked
→ You’re underfunded
→ You’re overworked

Gitcoin 3.0 is our answer.

A new approach to funding that puts serious builders back in focus.

We're in the middle of #GG24 Sensemaking Szn 🥳 Join us on Wednesday to discuss what some of the biggest problems in Ethereum are today: what would you like to see funded in our next round?

Set reminders here:

Fund What Matters

We’re not guessing 🫡

Sensemaking Szn = community + data + validation + voting.

Let’s make domain funding in GG24 a function of impact, backed by real signal.
Get involved now → https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/gitcoin-grants-24-strategic-sense-making-framework/20865

Gitcoin 3.0 is here. We’re not just funding projects—we’re solving Ethereum’s biggest challenges by aligning funding with real need.
Sensemaking Szn = 6 weeks of identifying, validating, and prioritizing those needs.

Which problems should we fund? How should we fund them?
That’s what Sensemaking Szn is all about. It starts now 🧠

Multi-mechanism funding. New governance experiments. Retro rewards for impact.
