Gitcoin Grants enables builders to grow their project, get funded and build reputation within the Ethereum ecosystem.
Over the past few months, we’ve been conducting sense-making sessions with various stakeholders to understand the ecosystem’s needs and identify priority areas for funding.
Core Ethereum tooling is crucial yet starved of funding. This round directs Deep Funding to key repos and QF to a broader set of infra projects, creating a clearer path for sustained developer support.
Funds open data, infra, standards, and analytics to support Ethereum’s multi-chain growth and adoption of the Open Intents Framework (OIF).
Funds R&D that deepens public goods knowledge and supports open-source, neutral tools with a focus on interoperability across funding mechanisms.
TDA runs curated programs with expert partners to scale high-potential dev and adoption projects using years of Impact-Web3 experience.
Supports privacy solutions for a secure onchain Ethereum ecosystem.
Familiarize yourself with the steps for each mechanism in GG24, ensuring you know exactly how to participate in this funding cycle.
Quadratic Funding (QF) is a crowd-funding mechanism that amplifies available resources by inviting community members to make donations (big or small) that act as votes on where to allocate funds. The broader the support, the bigger the match!

GG24 represents Gitcoin’s 3.0 model — not just Quadratic Funding, but a plural, network-first approach that makes Ethereum’s coordination engine more resilient and aligned with community values.
There are 6 funding "categories" within GG24, i.e. Domains. Each domain has sub rounds within them that you can directly participate in.
Each domain may use a different platform and approach. Refer to the details on each domain for more information.
GG24 employs a "Domain Allocator" model, where funding is concentrated on specific problem areas defined through Sensemaking, rather than categories directly defined by Gitcoin. Each domain may use different funding mechanisms (not just QF), and rounds run on multiple platforms, including Giveth rather than Gitcoin's own infrastructure.
The rounds are scheduled to run from mid-October into early November, though specific dates may vary by domain. Please refer to the details on each domain for more information.
Each domain may use a different platform and approach. Refer to the details on each domain for more information.
Unfortunately, if your project doesn't align with the selected domains, you cannot participate in GG24. The categories have changed from previous rounds; please refer to the individual round eligibility for more details.
Each domain operator designs their own mechanism - it could be QF, retroactive funding, direct grants, or a hybrid. Check the specific domain for details about their approach and what that means for applications.
es. QF applications should emphasize community value and potential for broad support. Retroactive funding requires proven impact metrics. Direct grants need detailed proposals. Prepare accordingly based on your domain's mechanism.
Community members submit problem analyses, Gitcoin synthesizes these into domains, then GTC token holders vote on which to fund. Gitcoin works with coaltiional funders to create a match on match funding for each domain.
Previous thematic rounds are replaced by problem-focused domains. If climate or DeSci isn't selected as a domain, those projects cannot participate in GG24 unless they fit another selected domain.
Focus shifts from participation metrics (number of projects, donors) to impact metrics specific to each domain's problem area. Expect a detailed retrospective analysis in November or December 2025.
Gitcoin is transforming it's funding approach to better support the Ethereum ecosystem. We're building in the open and growing our community of voices to shape the future of onchain funding.
