We’re excited to roll out the same Sybil resistance strategy in GG23 as we did for GG22!
This evolution has two parts:
- Connection-oriented cluster matching (COCM) analyzes the “uniqueness” of donation patterns to decrease the impact of users who donate towards the same sets of projects, thereby decreasing the impact of airdrop farmers and sybil attackers who tend to follow a set of donation patterns.
- Passport XYZ’s (formerly Gitcoin Passport) Model Based Detection analyzes the onchain history of donors to increase the impact of users who have proven transactions and history on multiple chains.
*Model Based Detection does not require you to create a Passport or collect Stamps.
While GG23 isn’t using the Stamp-based verification, there are still many campaigns and applications that are protected by Passport’s Stamp-based verification.*
Together, we estimate that this provides a 20% higher efficacy in distributing matching funds for GG23

FAQ’s
- Does this mean that people with new wallets (e.g. new to web3) will not qualify for matching?
- Wallets with no history will likely not contribute to matching funds in GG23, but every donation will still go directly to the project they’re supporting!
- We’ve focused on bettering the web3 experience for this round and look forward to providing support for non-web3 natives in future rounds, likely through fiat on-ramping.
- Onchain history on Ethereum, Arb, Optimism, ZkSync, and Polygon can provide evidence for your human likelihood
- Where can I see my Passport’s Model Based Detection score?
