Gitcoin 3.0 Simplifies Mission
**Gitcoin 3.0** focuses on three core principles: - **Fund what matters** - Supporting meaningful projects - **Do it well** - Executing with quality - **Stay aligned with Ethereum** - Maintaining ecosystem focus This represents a *back-to-basics approach* for the grants platform, stripping away complexity to concentrate on being the **best funding platform for Ethereum projects**. The simplified mission emphasizes quality execution over feature bloat, positioning Gitcoin as the go-to destination for Ethereum ecosystem funding.
Public Goods Drive Network Growth
**Public goods aren't charity** - they're a competitive advantage for networks. Networks that invest in public goods **compound faster** than those that don't, creating a strategic imperative rather than altruistic obligation. This challenges the traditional view of public goods as charitable endeavors, positioning them instead as **growth accelerators** for network effects. The insight suggests successful networks recognize public goods funding as essential infrastructure investment rather than optional social responsibility.
