Gitcoin announced that the Alpha round of financing will be held on January 17, supporting open source software, Ethereum infrastructure, and climate solution projects

ChainCatcher news, Gitcoin officially announced that the Gitcoin Alpha Round second-degree financing will take place from January 17 to January 31, 2023. This round will support 200 grantees dedicated to open-source software, Ethereum infrastructure, and climate solutions, with a total matching fund of $1 million.

It is reported that during the Alpha testing round, donors can claim a POAP for each round they participate in. Users who collect all POAPs will be eligible to enter a raffle to win the Schelling Point VIP package, which includes $150 worth of Gitcoin products.

In addition, Gitcoin will transition to a blockchain-based grant protocol in 2023, allowing anyone to launch second-degree financing grant projects. This protocol will enable funders to establish a grant project at any time, increasing flexibility for grantees who can apply across different rounds and for donors who wish to provide small amounts of funding.
