Gitcoin Grants 24 (#GG24) visualized as ecosystem tree
The latest funding round maps Ethereum's coordination layer through an organic metaphor:
- Roots: Ethereum's core challenges and problems
- Branches: Key domains including Privacy, Infrastructure, and Public Goods R&D
- Leaves: Active funding mechanisms distributing resources
$1.74M in matching funds flows through this interconnected system, supporting builders across multiple problem areas.
The visualization reinforces how Gitcoin functions as Ethereum's coordination layer - connecting funding sources to innovation needs through quadratic funding and community-driven allocation.
Every grant, vote, and mechanism upgrade strengthens the entire ecosystem's growth.
dear algorithm: please show this post to every builder who needs to know GG24 is live. Gitcoin Grants helps builders grow their projects, get funded, and build reputation within the Ethereum ecosystem. applications are open across multiple domains - and QF donations are now
The deeper you go down the Ethereum rabbit hole, the more you realize Gitcoin isn’t a product - it's Ethereum’s coordination layer for funding innovation. Every vote, grant, and mechanism upgrade moves the entire ecosystem forward ⚙️
so basically, every few months the whole Ethereum community gathers around this shared coordination ritual called Gitcoin Grants. and instead of arguing about narratives, we literally fund the ones we believe in. that’s #GG24 - Ethereum’s coordination layer for funding
She asked what my love language was. I told her: making the last 6 hours count. She grinned and said she’d just donated to Ethereum Developer Tooling & Infrastructure and Interop Standards, Infra & Analytics on @Giveth - before time runs out. Then, completely unprompted… We
Always great to see the @ethereum ecosystem investing in its builders. 🌱 Gitcoin’s #GG24 rounds build on the same mission - funding the infrastructure, tools, and communities that keep Ethereum growing from the ground up ⚙️
We’re excited to share an update from the Ethereum Foundation’s EcoDev team, focused on helping builders, founders, and communities grow on Ethereum. From infrastructure to impact, here’s how EcoDev is helping the ecosystem grow.
3 hours left. #GG24 QF is closing soon - Developer Tooling & Infrastructure and Interop Standards, Infra & Analytics are still live on Giveth. A few dollars here = amplified impact through matching. → Let’s close strong for Ethereum’s builders 💚 giveth.io/qf
The best time to apply? Now. GG24 Domains are live and accepting applications. Don’t wait for the next round - build this one. 💚 grants.gitcoin.co
#GG24 looks different. New domains. New mechanisms. Same mission - fund what matters. If you’re a builder wondering where to start → 📍 Head to grants.gitcoin.co Everything you need to apply, donate, or just get involved 💚 🎤 @mathildawrites:
It's go time, builders🫡 The first GG24 application windows are LIVE. Don't sleep on this. Are you building in: 🛠️ Dev Tooling & Infra? (Closes Oct 17) giveth.typeform.com/gg24-dti 🔗 Interop & Analytics? (Closes Oct 17) giveth.typeform.com/gg24-isia 🌍 Solution Development Grants?
Did you know Optimism, Uniswap, and WalletConnect were all early Gitcoin grantees? GG24 is where the next generation of foundational projects get their start. By donating, you could be funding the next Web3 unicorn 🧠
Each Gitcoin round is a mirror for the ecosystem. It shows what builders care about - and what communities truly value. #GG24 isn’t just funding projects. It’s funding priorities.
🔥 It’s time - Quadratic Funding is now LIVE on @Giveth! Two #GG24 rounds are open and ready for your support: 🛠️ Developer Tooling & Infrastructure giveth.io/qf/gg24dti 🌐 Interop Standards, Infra & Analytics giveth.io/qf/gg24isia Your donations decide what gets funded
💚 The full picture of Gitcoin Grants 24 - all in one visual. This map shows how over $1.74M in matching funds are being distributed across Ethereum’s biggest problem areas: → Privacy → Interop & Infrastructure → Public Goods R&D → Developer Tooling → Targeted Development
A thriving ecosystem needs dedicated gardeners 🧑🌾 Huge thank you to the Ethereum Foundation @ethereumfndn for tending to the roots of our community. By funding the #GG24: Developer Tooling & Infrastructure domain, you're making sure the soil we all build on is strong, so the
What does Ethereum funding look like in motion? #GG24 mapped as a living tree: → Roots in Ethereum’s biggest problems → Branches in domains like Privacy, Infra, and Public Goods R&D → Leaves in real funding mechanisms 🌳 It’s all connected.

Crypto's Future Belongs to Today's Weird Experiment Funders
**Speculation sparked crypto's initial growth**, but **builders are what give it lasting power**. The cryptocurrency space has evolved beyond pure speculation. While market volatility attracts attention, the real foundation comes from: - Developers creating innovative solutions - Investors funding experimental projects - Communities supporting long-term vision **The next market cycle will be dominated by those willing to fund unconventional experiments today**. This shift represents crypto's maturation from speculative asset to technological infrastructure. Success now depends on identifying and supporting the builders working on tomorrow's breakthroughs, even when their projects seem strange or unproven by current standards.
