The potential of decentralized impact measurement and exploring various allocation mechanisms, including assurance contracts, were seen as crucial steps toward achieving Gitcoin's ambitious growth target.
Gitcoin is embracing three key pillars:
Gitcoin emphasizes the concept of credible neutrality in the context of public goods funding. Credible neutrality ensures fairness by not favoring any specific group, aligning with the diverse values of different communities.
