Gitcoin Grants Round 18: Results and Recap 🧮 Whether improving Ethereum, educating developers, guaranteeing onchain privacy, or fighting for crypto in DC, builders have used Gitcoin to connect with their community and make a lasting impact. Gitcoin Grants 18 (#GG18) was the latest iteration of the quarterly quadratic funding rounds that ran on the decentralized @GrantsStack. This round saw increased crowdfunded contributions above the previous two rounds on @GrantsStack – making it the biggest ever on the new decentralized tech stack. With $680k crowdfunded from 328K contributions, we saw a 12% increase in donations and three-fold growth in the number of contributions relative to the Beta Round.

Gitcoin Grants 18 is just 8 days away! 🎉 TL;DR on #GG18: - $1M matching funds for Core Rounds - 4 Core Rounds - Community-led Featured Rounds - Applications are open until the 15th, with an early bird deadline of midnight UTC on 11th (which guarantees you a review before the round goes live!) - Since the Gitcoin Passport scores reset after 90 days, be sure to refresh by re-collecting your stamps before the GG18 starts on August 15th: passport.gitcoin.co. Note: you will need a score of a minimum of 20 to be eligible for matching. - GG18 will be on Optimism besides the Core Ethereum Infrastructure round, which will be on PGN. Featured Round program managers have the option to choose which network they would like to run on. - GG18 starts at 12:00 UTC on Aug 15th, 2023 - GG18 ends at 12:00 UTC on Aug 29th, 2023 Important links: - Visit grants.gitcoin.co to apply today - For more #GG18 resources, check out the Grantee Portal: community.gitcoin.co/gitcoin-grante… - Collect or refresh your stamps on passport.gitcoin.co before the start of the round on August 15th ‍ We’re thrilled to return to our seasonal cadence of Gitcoin Grants, with a number of exciting updates and changes to our platform and processes since our Alpha and Beta rounds, continuing to work towards our permissionless future. Gitcoin Grants 18 (GG18) will run from August 15th, 2023 to August 29th, 2023.

@TimSweeneyEpic @mpetit @BrianKaris would be great if @UnrealEngine had an adaptive frame rate in edit mode (like @Blender). Saves a lot of energy and reduces fan noise 😎
