Introduction
Gitcoin (Twitter : https://twitter.com/gitcoin) is a community where developers can earn funding in Web 3 while creating open source decentralized applications.
This time GG19 is hosted across 4 different chains (Optimism, Arbitrum, Public Goods Network and Polygon). If you wish to support multiple projects in different rounds within the same chain, you can combine your donations into a single transaction.
Rules
The Gitcoin Grants 19 is live now.
Period: Nov 15, 2023 — Nov 29, 2023
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.
Layer 2 projects airdrop to Gitcoin Donors as well. For example, Optimism allocated 556 OP ($936) each for addresses that donated on L1.
There is also a lot of speculation on a potential airdrop from zkSync to Gitcoin Donors as they are close partners. (https://blog.matter-labs.io/funding-public-goods-with-gitcoin-b473ccbc133b)
If you donated in previous Gitcoin rounds, claim a Hypercert for another potential airdrop at https://hypercerts.org/app/dashboard/. Hypercert is a project from Protocol Labs who made IPFS and Filecoin.
Guide
Getting Started:
Gitcoin Grants 19 is held on 4 different chains (Optimism, Arbitrum, Public Goods Network and Polygon) this time. We’ll demonstrate with the rounds on Optimism as there’s no need to bridge.
Step 1:
Go to the grants page (https://grants.gitcoin.co/) and choose the rounds to donate to.
We will demonstrate with the Web3 Social round and the Climate round. Make sure you are connected to Optimism mainnet.
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.
Suggested projects and rounds to donate to: ($3-$5 each)
Web3 Social Round (on Optimism):
Hey.xyz (Social media app built with Lens Protocol)
Tape (Video platform built with Lens Protocol)
Climate Round (on Optimism):
xParametric (Climate Prediction Market)
Astral (Location-based apps on Web3)
OSS Round (on PGN):
JediSwap (AMM on StarkNet)
OmniBTC (Omnichain DeFi platform)
Holonym (zkSBT)

Step 2:
Gitcoin Passport scores reset after 90 days, so your passport may have already expired. Recreate it at https://passport.gitcoin.co/.
You can now do 1-click verification to add all on-chain stamps back.
For Web2 stamps, you still need to verify them one-by-one.
You need a minimum of 15 points to be eligible for matching funding for your donations on Gitcoin Passport. Matching power will proportionally increase for scores between 15 and 25.
If you had some on-chain activity and combine it with a few Web2 stamps (Google: 2.25 pts , Linkedln 2.45 pts, Facebook 1.378 pts, Coinbase 1.35 pts, Discord 0.689 pts), then it should not be hard to get 15 points. You can check the passport score list here.
Step 3:
Simply click “Add to Cart” for the projects you want to donate to. Remember that you can donate to multiple projects in different rounds within the same chain in a single transaction.
Click on the shopping cart to check out.
Select the amount and the type of asset to donate. Click “Apply to all” and “Submit your donation”.
Step 4:
Confirm your transaction and you will see this after your payment.
If you want to donate to the OSS round, you’ll have to bridge to PGN. You can use Layerswap, PGN offical bridge or the Superbridge.
That’s all for GG19. Here comes the wait till the airdrop.
