Nikolai was one of the earliest community members I came across in my journey into Ethereum and a key reason I stayed. His passionate eccentricity helped show not only that ideas like stablecoins were possible, but that they could be brought to life (@MakerDAO). RIP Nikolai ☀️.

libraries are a public good and @internetarchive is by far one of the most important we have at internet scale. unfortunately, some publishers don't agree and we're now at risk of burning a modern day library of alexandria . let's do everything we can to support them.
We will appeal. #DigitalRightsForLibraries #EmpoweringLibraries.

Two months ago, @gitcoin and @otherinternet__ put out a call for proposals for new kinds of public goods. We sought proposals that went beyond just web3 and addressed the wide range of public spheres we're all part of. Today, we're excited to announce the seven main awardees.

Peace is truly a global public good. And although we can't always maintain it, that doesn't mean we can't do our best to help those trapped in war. Today, we're proud to announce that @gitcoin is launching a round to fund non-military support and humanitarian aid in Ukraine. 🇺🇦.

One of the reasons the Ethereum community is so great is that we all work together. As we get closer to EIP-1559, I want to take a moment to thank the 567 funders of the original grant @TimBeiko started back in June 2020 to pay community contributors. Public goods are good.🌱❤️

To build for the public good, we first need a clear idea of the publics we serve. Together with @otherinternet__, we've opened an RFP for public goods projects in web3 and beyond. Help us collectively build a positive sum world 🌱🌐.

2020 has been a surreal year but this is one twist I didn't expect. @BadgerDAO's donation at current prices constitutes by far the largest donation made to Gitcoin Grants to date. Humbled and incredibly thankful to have them as a partner.
1/ . We've allocated 420,000 $BADGER to @gitcoin. Together we will put this to work across a variety of grant rounds, hackathons, bounties and other collaborations. The intention is to distribute over an extended period of time and make a real impact.

ENS is critical public infrastructure that we all rely on, a true public good. Naturally, it should be governed by the communities it serves. Today, that journey starts, and I couldn't be more excited to do what I can to support it. Public goods are good.
ENS is decentralizing governance & is now accepting applications for DAO delegates. $ENS governance tokens will be opened for claiming by ENS users (snapshot made yesterday) a week from today, with more details about it then. Blog post or 🧵 for more.1/.

Ethereum is a city, and as it grows, we need to ensure the infrastructure it relies on grows too. Last century, cities relied on roads, bridges, and electrical grids to thrive. Now, we rely on open source, and I couldn't be more excited to continue funding it with you all.
Thank you @ethereumJoseph @Consensys for giving @gitcoin it's start 💙. Looking forward to the next chapter, scaling our mission of funding Ethereum public goods w. @paradigm @ElectricCapital @1kxnetwork @VENTURE_DAO @ideo @TheLAOOfficial @naval @balajis.

Many people forget, but much of the early web was funded by ICANN, which gets paid for every domain name that's registered. Unlike ICANN, ENS is owned and operated by and for the community. Let's fix the mistakes of the past, and fund web3 together.
$ENS has launched!. Eligible users can claim their $ENS governance tokens at: No rush: You have until *May 4, 2022* to claim your tokens. Claiming costs gas, so feel free to wait for favorable gas prices. Blog or 🧵 for more👇.1/.

imagine thinking we shouldn't fund people who have created truly world changing public goods.
You wanna know how much money Tim Berners Lee made from inventing the web? It was $0. Show me a crypto project where the people working on it make absolutely nothing. They don't hold X% of the tokens, they aren't earning mining fees, they're just making a useful thing.

Over the last few months it's become clear that we need to be more intentional about what we're building in web3. Many of the problems we see with orgs like Facebook emerged slowly and unconsciously. Web3 can still change the world, but only if we think deeply about our values.

Impact DAOs still feel nascent in web3. How should we be defining them?. ➢ community is formed around a mission, not the other way around.➢ collaboration comes first, anyone can make the world a better place.➢ success is measured by regen not degen economics. What else?.

in a world of centralized institutions we often assume that the state is the only group that can provision meaningful public goods. in a decentralized world, any local community (even digitally) should be able to provision their shared needs in a pluralistic and mutualist way.

The number of climate-related DAOs spinning up this week makes me more optimistic than ever that we can have an impact on public spheres beyond web3. Today, we're excited to announce a new approach on the topic from @olliten, our first of seven awardees:.
Crypto will become a critical coordination technology for the climate movement. My essay on using crypto-derivatives to fund decentralized climate action was selected as one of the main awardees in an RFP by @Gitcoin and @otherinternet__🙏. A summary:.
