Introduction
Gitcoin (Twitter : https://twitter.com/gitcoin) a community where developers can earn funding in Web 3 while creating open source decentralized applications.
Instead of the usual GR16, they are now running a Alpha Test Season where they will run early design rounds to test their new grants protocol. They will run four “test” alpha rounds with UNICEF, Fantom, Optimism, and Alchemix.
Rules
The Fantom round and the UNICEF round is on now.
Fantom Round: Dec 12, 2022 — Jan 2, 2023
UNICEF Round: Dec 9–21, 2022
Read here for details. You’ll get a POAP for donation to each round.
Some projects may provide airdrops and rewards to donors later on. Donating does not guarantee airdrops. Airdrops like $GTC, $MASK and $RSS3 have provided a decent return for donors.
Other projects airdrop to Gitcoin Donors as well. For example, Optimism allocated 555 $OP each for addresses that donated on L1.
Guide
Getting Started:
Fantom round only accepts donation on Fantom and UNICEF round only accepts donation on Ethereum.

Generally you should look for projects that
