Introduction
Gitcoin (Twitter : https://twitter.com/gitcoin) is 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, Gitcoin and Optimism.
Rules
The Gitcoin round is live now.
Gitcoin Round: Jan 17, 2023 — Jan 31, 2023
You’ll get a POAP for donation if you donate at least $10 dollar in total to ONE OF THE CAUSES (Open Source Software, ETH Infra and Climate).
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 ($1000) each for addresses that donated on L1.
If you donated in GR15, claim your ZK badge at Sismo for another potential airdrop at https://app.sismo.io/gr15.
Guide
Getting Started:

Generally you should look for projects that
1. Have a detailed description about what they do.
2. Have not yet issued their tokens, with potential to launch one later.
