# [GCP-010] Evolving Gitcoin Grants: The Q.E.D. Program Following the successful vote on snapshot: https://snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.eth/proposal/0x8b8e0ed4ec6ef5031b407d4abbc41a604c2f14528a12ec87e21aa5f9e04cabc7 This Tally proposal will fund the work outlined in the GCP for $27,240 in USDC. [GCP-010] Evolving Gitcoin Grants: The Q.E.D. (Quadratic Experimentation and Development) Program How can Gitcoin leverage the lessons learned from its past experiments to address the limitations of the current Quadratic Funding model and refine it for future applications? Given the multiple cohorts which exist and commit extractive and exploitative attacks on Gitcoin Grants and our Web3 partners, what novel solutions can Gitcoin explore to enhance the security and fairness of the Quadratic Funding model? In the pursuit of next-generation allocation mechanisms, how can Gitcoin ensure a more representative and pluralistic environment for its Grants Programs and QV governance models? We present the Q.E.D. (Quadratic Experimentation and Development) program, which aims to answer those questions through the development and implementation of collusion-resistant Quadratic Funding mechanisms for Gitcoin Grants. The project lead for Q.E.D. has developed state-of-the-art collusion-resistant QF mechanisms 2 in collaboration with leaders in the field 1, and brings to the table an ability to rigorously understand the unique needs of Allo Protocol. Q.E.D.'s aim is to create a more inclusive and democratic funding model that addresses collusion and improves the efficiency and fairness of the funding process, as well as to educate our prospective and current partners about the trade-offs that can be made in their own Allo use-cases. Proposal We propose to deliver the following: - A tailored mathematical framework for understanding QF within Gitcoin’s context. - Empirical analysis of collusion-resistant mechanisms using Gitcoin Grants data. - Product roadmap with recommendations for data collection practices and Gitcoin Allo/ Passport feature analysis. - Series of articles for marketing, educational, and onboarding purposes. - Bi-weekly updates to the Gitcoin community.
# [GCP-004] Gitcoin Citizens Round Following the successful vote on Snapshot, we are moving this proposal to Tally for finalization and disbursement of funds: https://snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.eth/proposal/0x8accce753fd16dd013c0c4792b6931e1c29b77ba00d70e1e5f93e7ad4ba32418 Summary: Gitcoin is the world’s largest implementer of quadratic funding. We have run 105 quadratic funding rounds, helped fund over 3,700 projects, and grown ecosystems like Uniswap, Polygon, and ENS. Yet, we aren’t currently using quadratic funding ourselves. With the recent launch of the Allo protocol, Gitcoin should be one of the first ecosystems to use the protocol to fund its shared needs. This proposal is to pilot a series of quadratic funding rounds for rewarding efforts supporting the Gitcoin Community, specifically by Gitcoin Citizens 2. Citizens are value-aligned community members who are eager to contribute their time and skills in service of the DAO. Running these rounds will lower the barrier of entry for contributing to the DAO, determine what the community values most, and help test (dogfood) the Allo protocol. For this, we are requesting a total of $95K in GTC from the Gitcoin treasury. Please refer to the gov post: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/gcp-004-passed-gitcoin-citizens-round/13462/12 and the Snapshot vote for the full details of the proposal.
# [S17] Gitcoin Allo Budget Proposal This a re-submission as the last Tally vote failed to reach quorum. Following the success of the snapshot vote for the Gitcoin Allo Workstream S17 Budget, we are moving this vote to Tally to fund the workstream. This season the Allo workstream will be focused on transitioning from alpha to beta, with Eth Denver / the April Gitcoin rounds as key milestones and inflection points. Our team is focusing on work for both Allo Protocol and Grants Stack, each with associated S17 outcomes: Allo Protocol: The goals for Allo this season are finishing Protocol v0 and beginning to get builders working with the codebase. Our two Allo-focused outcomes: Enable Payouts v1. Engage the developer community. Grants Stack: The primary goal in S17 is productizing QF rounds on Grants Stack. Our outcomes: Improve the project application and review flows. Build a project reputation system. Provide an easy, intuitive QF round experience. Gitcoin Allo (GA) is requesting $803,533 for S17, and we plan to maintain a standard reserve of 60%. Due to price increases from when the S16 budget was funded, absorbing the Moonshot Collective treasury, and strong diversification, we have sufficient reserves to only request 153,000 GTC* ($272,300) this season to maintain our full budget and reserves. *The GTC total was adjusted based on the lower of the current spot to the 20-day trailing average GTC price. We are using a $1.78 conversion rate for this proposal. The full budget request can be reviewed here: Draft: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/s17-proposal-draft-gitcoin-allo-budget-request/12739 Integrated: https://gov.gitcoin.co/t/s17-proposal-integrated-gitcoin-allo-budget-request/12920 Snapshot: https://snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.eth/proposal/0x555f90d3c76bd44ee4727b627b424d524a799b8dde9784991848c90b599e6562

# S16 - MMM Budget This is a funding proposal for the MMM Workstream requesting ratification budgetary funds for Season 16. TL;DR In Season 16, MMM will continue to focus on providing support for the Grants Protocol launch, the Grants Program Success and Community Engagement. To do so, we are requesting a budget of $471,949. Our top priorities for this season include: Finalize overall Gitcoin, protocol, Passport and Grants Program branding strategies Launch (or make significant headway in launching) a new gitcoin.co website Developing and socializing communications around GR16, the sunsetting of the centralized grants platform (cGrants) and our transition to the protocol Developing and releasing an Impact Report to highlight the success of the Gitcoin Grants Program Develop and test an engagement strategy that targets three core community audiences (which were identified and researched in S15) Amount MMM’s S16 budget is $471,949 (+13% vs S15 budget of $417,543). After accounting for remaining budget & reserves, MMM is requesting $686,239 for Season 16 from the treasury. The snapshot vote is here for review: https://snapshot.org/#/gitcoindao.eth/proposal/0x35010aec1b8a754dc250ac714c6b3c7337663d1d82a601537eb72f3afee99249 The funds will go to a multisig controlled by MMM and will be distributed as described in the original proposal.
