Gitcoin announced the opening of a new donation campaign, Gitcoin Grants 18, from August 15th to August 29th. The applications will be open starting from August 1st.
Gitcoin is a blockchain-based developer community and crowdfunding platform that focuses on promoting the development and sustainability of open-source software. Its main goal is to incentivize developers to contribute to open-source projects and provide them with financial support, thereby driving innovation and growth in the open-source ecosystem.
In past Gitcoin Grants campaigns, projects like $OP, $GTC, $MASK, $RSS3, $ENS, among others, have distributed airdrops to donors, offering substantial returns to contributors. While it cannot be guaranteed that every project will distribute airdrops to donors, it might still be worth considering supporting projects after careful evaluation.
