    Gitcoin Co-Founder Kevin Owocki Says His Return Won't Make Him Center of the Network

    Gitcoin co-founder Kevin Owocki, who stepped away from the open-source funding platform last June, announced on Tuesday that he plans to return to the project. However, he signaled that his upcoming work on Gitcoin will be different from his previous role. Co-founded by Owocki in 2017, the Consenys-funded startup fully transitioned to a DAO last year. (Disclosure: ConsenSys Mesh is one of 22 investors in Decrypt.) Gitcoin is an organization that connects members of online communities, and it fun...

    'Greenwashing': Gitcoin, Shell Sponsorship Draws Fire From Crypto Pundits

    Open-source funding platform Gitcoin is in the eye of the storm after announcing a new year-long partnership with fossil fuel giant Shell. Thanks to blockchain’s ability to “solve intricate coordination issues,” reads a press release on the partnership, the technology could be “particularly suited to the energy industry” and its aims to move to renewable energy. Notably, Shell is making a hefty donation to Gitcoin’s Grant Program and sponsoring a hackathon in the fourth quarter of this year. She...

    Ethereum DAOs Can Combat Global Misinformation: Gitcoin Founder

    Gitcoin founder Kevin Owocki wasn’t even supposed to be onstage at MetaCartel’s MCON 2021 conference today. However, when a scheduled panelist didn’t show up, Owocki filled the void with quotable insights about Ethereum-based coordination and what he sees as the power and promise of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). “First question, hardball: is it all coordination?” Owocki asked his counterpart, metaverse engineer MetaDreamer. “It’s all coordination and it always has been,” MetaDre...

    Ethereum’s Gitcoin Raises $11.3 Million, Spins Out of ConsenSys

    If you've ever traded on Uniswap, read DeFi publication The Defiant, or used the Prysm Eth 2.0 testnet, you might want to thank Gitcoin. For years, the decentralized funding platform has coordinated the distribution of over $18 million in grants. Now, one of the Ethereum ecosystem's biggest funders should be around to shepherd in a range of tools for the network’s move to Ethereum 2.0—and beyond. Gitcoin raised $11.3 million in an investment round led by Paradigm, the crypto venture capital fund...

  • Are Ethereum influencers tweeting for dollars?

    It's a fine time for crypto evangelists who spend all of their lives on Twitter. A “radical” crowdfunding service is set to deliver thousands of dollars to Ethereum fanboys who retweet bullish Ethereum news and get into protracted arguments about cryptographic stuff.  Pseudonymous Twitter user Antiprosynthesis, for instance, has raised around $15,000 for work he describes as “aggregating Ethereum-related news, fighting information asymmetry and fine-tuning/signaling a consistent narrative for Et...

  • Wanted: Way more DeFi projects

    CryptoKitties aside, the most successful use cases for Web3 technology so far are decentralized-finance companies. That’s partly why Tachyon, an accelerator backed by Brooklyn-based incubator ConsenSys, is looking to help fund up to 15 DeFi startups.  But hurry kids! The application period to get your $150,000 in funding ends on September 16. Tachyon’s managing director, Gabriel Anderson, said that the accelerator’s current push is around open finance: “This is where we think the next great Web3...
