Gitcoin 3.0 transforms funding with network-first design
GG24 introduces a decentralized approach where domain allocators and builders collaborate directly, removing central gatekeepers.
Key changes:
- Community-driven allocation decisions
- Direct builder-allocator collaboration
- Network effects replace hierarchical control
This shift from centralized rounds to distributed networks could unlock new forms of innovation. When communities self-organize around funding priorities, creative solutions emerge organically.
The bigger picture: Gitcoin is building infrastructure for Ethereum's long-term sustainability, funding the invisible work that powers future bull runs.
GG24 runs October 14-28, marking a return to community-driven funding that previously shaped Ethereum's development.
Every bull run is built on years of invisible work: dev tooling, infra, standards, adoption. That’s what Gitcoin rounds fund. GG24 is where Ethereum invests in itself 🧠 Be part of it this October.
Back to basics. Back to builders. Back to Ethereum. That’s Gitcoin 3.0 🫡
We talk a lot about adoption in crypto. But adoption isn’t just wallets and users. It’s builders who stay, communities that grow, and infrastructure that compounds. Gitcoin exists to make sure those things are funded 💚
Gitcoin 3.0 is bigger: → domains shaped by community Sensemaking → legitimacy rooted in Ethereum values It’s infrastructure for solving Ethereum’s biggest problems.
A network of minds. A map of problems. A new way to decide what gets funded next. That’s Gitcoin 3.0 🧠
In a world of hype cycles, quiet builders rarely win attention. But they build the infrastructure everything else depends on 🏗️ Gitcoin 3.0 exists to help you fund those builders, not just the headlines.
Gitcoin 3.0 is about building the funding layer for Ethereum’s biggest problems. Not just one mechanism, not just one round - but a pluralistic, resilient system that makes coordination inevitable. In ten years, no one will think twice about whether public goods should be
Gitcoin 3.0 is simple: → Fund what matters → Do it well → Stay aligned with Ethereum
With GG24’s network-first design, Gitcoin becomes the scaffold for community brilliance. What future innovations might emerge when domain allocators and builders collaborate without a central “hero”? How far can decentralized creativity take us? ✨

🍽️ Gitcoin's Michelin Makeover
Gitcoin is transforming its funding approach with **GG24**, moving from an open marketplace model to a curated, expert-driven system. The new process uses **Sensemaking** to identify and validate the most pressing problems in the Ethereum ecosystem before funding begins. **Key changes:** - Domain experts design targeted funding mechanisms - Community-driven problem identification through working groups - GTC holders vote on final funding domains - Strategic alignment replaces free-for-all submissions This represents a shift toward **coordinated excellence** - matching specific funding mechanisms to validated community needs rather than broad, open rounds.
Community-Funded Foundation Proves Unstoppable in Web3 Movement
A **community-driven foundation** has demonstrated remarkable resilience by securing its own funding mechanisms. This development highlights the power of **decentralized governance** and community ownership in the web3 space. When communities control their own financial resources, they become: - Independent from external funding pressures - More resilient to market downturns - Capable of long-term strategic planning - Aligned with member interests rather than investor demands The foundation's **self-sustaining model** represents a significant shift from traditional funding structures that rely on venture capital or institutional backing. This approach enables communities to: - Fund projects that truly matter to members - Build infrastructure without compromise - Protect community values and mission *Ready to explore community-driven funding models?*
