Gitcoin is a platform that connects donors (institutions and individuals) and open source project entrepreneurs, where developers can get paid to develop open source software in various programming languages. Users can also submit their project ideas to the Gitcoin platform to "crowdfund" funds from donors. In addition to direct community "crowdfunding," Gitcoin employs a unique system called quadratic funding to help match the community's funds to accelerate development of the most community-friendly projects. All in all, Gitcoin is a platform designed to facilitate the growth of popular open source projects and better align the interests of donors and developers.
What is Gitcoin POAP and what does it do?
POAP is the acronym for the English word Proof of Attendance Protocol (Proof of Attendance Protocol). It is an open source protocol built by the Ethereum developer community based on the ERC-721 standard. The goal of POAP is to reliably record experiences.
A few days ago, Gitcoin’s official Twitter post mentioned the release plan of 5 POAPs. Donors can receive the corresponding POAPs by donating 5 time node projects. Their themes and times are:
UNICEF: 9-21 December 2022;
Fantom : December 12, 2022 to January 2, 2023;
Gitcoin: January 17-31, 2023;
Optimism Retrospective Public Goods Funding Round 2: January 31-February 10, 2023;
Alchemix: February (exact date TBD).
Regarding the role of these POAPs, the official said that collecting all POAPs will automatically enter the lottery and win VIP tickets for Schelling Point (Schelling Point, Schelling Point, is a game theory concept, named after Gitcoin, and plans to hold a developer event ).
How to claim Gitcoin POAP
According to the official collection rules , it is necessary to make a Gitcoin donation within the 5 theme periods mentioned above. As of the time of publication, the official announcement of the first and second event entrances: UNICEF Club theme; Fantom theme. Here Odaily Planet Daily uses the UNICEF round as an example to briefly summarize the operation steps:
Step 1: Enter the official event link: UNICEF Round ;
Step 2: Select several items and click "Add to shortlist";
Step 3: Enter the list with the list icon in the upper right corner, and click "Add all project to final Donation";
Step 4: Link the wallet and switch to the specified chain, select the amount to donate, and complete the donation.
The official promises that POAP can be collected within 14 days after all donations are completed.
In fact, this is the first time Gitcoin has released a donation event in the form of a "round" after its annual donation event. Considering that the industry is currently in a deep bearish state, perhaps this is also an incentive for Gitcoin officials to inject vitality into the industry. In addition, because the donors who participated in Gitcoin before will generally receive AirDrop from the donated project (refer to " Ambush the Next Luxury AirDrop, Please Keep the Ninth Round of Gitcoin Donation Operation Guide "), so this also allows us to have a good understanding of this event. more expectations.
In short, the bear market is long, come to Gitcoin build together.
