Gitcoin is a way to support public goods and open source projects aligned with your mission funded by amazing companies here using Quadratic Funding:

There is a new category on Gitcoin grants named “Greater China” web3, which Bu Zhi DAO applied under to gain support the conference we are hosting in December 12-17, Taipei Blockchain Week. This article we want to demonstrate how you can use gitcoin to vote and support us and our partner Hepta: Education with a tiny donation amount with an outsized impact.

1. Sign up for Gitcoin account via Github

2. Add BZD and Hepta into your cart

3. Donate a tiny amount, your participation matters more than the amount because of quadratic funding!

4. Update your Gitcoin Passport to 3x your impact (validating you are a real human)

Here are loom videos in both English and Chinese on how to do this.

The way Gitcoin grant works is quadratic funding, meaning the number of participants matters more than amount of donations. As an example

Bu Zhi DAO is a non-profit with the mission to bridge Taiwan with the world by connecting web3 founders, creating educational resources and hosting global conferences in Taiwan. We’d love your support on our mission!

Hepta is an education protocol hosting Edge bootcamp, The first learn-to-earn Bootcamp for Asian kids from shelters.

We’d love for your support on the 2 projects above!

Here’s a Chinese article written by Hepta founder Vivian on more reasons why supporting Web3 in Taiwan is important. Key takeaways is:

• Taiwan has an open source civic hacker culture for 10 years such starting with the famous g0v started by Audrey Tang

• Taiwan has a vibrant developer community with strong execution powers, a great place for any experiments

• Web3 is beyond politics and borders, and supports individual autonomy for a future decentralized society that the Taiwan ministry of digital affairs is experimenting with.
