Gitcoin Grants Round 13: A Guide to The Black DAO Fund
March 19th, 2022
In an addition to the OlympusDAO Community Grants Program’s inaugural cohort, OlympusDAO is hosting their own Gitcoin Grants Matching Round to help fund open source projects in the ecosystem using Quadratic Funding. Quadratic Funding (QF) is the mathematically optimal way to fund public goods in a democratic community. With QF the number of contributors matters more than the amount funded, giving power to the majority and not the wealthiest. Gitcoin has run 12 rounds to date, raising $36 million for public goods, establishing QF as a powerful mechanism to support open source, bootstrap ecosystems, and share resources in an egalitarian manner.
