Gitcoin's DeSci Matching Grant Funding Round is Now - Influence the future of science on the blockchain!

Gitcoin is offering a $200,000 donation match purse for DeSci projects and organizations distributed through quadratic funding. DeSci is a term for scientific research, communication, etc which is enabled by blockchain/web3 technology. And there are TONS of exciting projects you can donate and "vote with your eth" for.

• Gitcoin is an organization and platform that supports open source development in the Ethereum ecosystem and beyond. It collects a fund-match purse from various individuals and organizations and uses quadratic funding to distribute that purse to grants on its platform. The fund-match purse is often in the millions of dollars. This grant round has a purse of over $2.8 million.
• Quadratic funding means that even small donations can be matched 1-100x, so even a dollar donation can turn into a huge contribution.
• Crypto is about MASSIVE GAINS, but also about changing the world. Here's a great opportunity to donate to organizations using blockchain tech to do exactly that. Everything from medical research to distributed computing are represented in this funding round.
