About Gitcoin

Gitcoin funds open source work in crypto, most visibly through quadratic funding rounds where many small donations to a project unlock a disproportionately large match from a central pool.

The GTC airdrop in May 2021 covered both sides of that marketplace. People who had donated to grants qualified, and so did the maintainers who had run them, along with users of the bounties product. Roughly 15% of supply went out in the initial distribution.

Because eligibility tracked genuine participation in funding rounds over several years, it was among the harder distributions of its era to fake after the fact.
