A
Awesome,
thank
you
so
much
jeff
and
thank
you
mikko.
That
was
a
super
interesting
talk,
love
love
to
hear
you
speak
and
just
your
context
on
the
whole
industry.
So
yeah
I
mean
where,
where
do
we
start?
So
I
do
I
do
a
few
slides.
I
mean
I'm
kind
of
just
gonna
use
them.
You
know
as
background
context,
so
you
can
either
pull
them
up
or
not.
It's
fine
either
way
but
yeah.
I
guess
I
don't
know.
Should
I
start
with
some
background
jeff.
Have
you
been
running
these.
B
A
Awesome,
thank
you.
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
kind
kind
background
info
so
yeah,
so
I'm
connor,
I
I'm
at
get
coin.
I
kind
of
I
have
a
lot
of
titles,
so
I
won't
go
into
the
title
stuff
but
yeah,
but
what
git
coin
basically
does
is
you
know
we
provide
funding
for
open
source
developers
and
open
source
teams,
primarily
or
first
in
the
ethereum
space,
but
now
we've
kind
of
expanded
out
to
a
lot
of
other
blockchain
ecosystems.
A
A
and
that
was
kind
of
where
you
know
everyone
in
the
ethereum
space
was
sort
of
drawn
to
in
those
days
you
know
which,
which
led
to
some
good
and
and
maybe
some
bad
things
as
well,
but
I
had
a
great
experience.
There
started
working
on
the
bitcoin
team,
which
was
incubated
that
consensus
and
I
started
in
2019,
and
so
I've
been
with
bitcoin
ever
since
we've
since
spun
out
into
our
own
entity.
A
A
And
things
like
that,
so
you
know
part
of
our
mission
is
that
you
know
the
future
is
going
to
be
decentralized.
The
future
of
work
is
going
to
be
remote
and
flexible,
and
you
know
open
source
is
going
to
drive
a
lot
of
the
you
know,
economics
and,
and
businesses
of
the
future,
and
so
bitcoin
started
out
with
a
pretty
simple
bounties
platform.
A
Basically
you
could,
you
know,
create
a
github
issue
and
fund
it
with
ethereum
or
any
erc20
and
find
you
know,
contributors
to
to
work
on
your
project
or
find
projects
to
contribute
to
and
get
paid
for
and
really
we're
just
looking
for.
A
way
to
you
know
help
fix
like
the
traditional
problem
of
there,
not
not
being
enough
funding
in
open
source,
and
you
know,
help
ecosystems
and
projects.
You
know,
grow
their
communities,
whether
they're
a
dao
company
et
cetera,
and
it's
kind
of
interesting
to
see
how
bitcoin
has
grown.
A
With
you
know
this
kind
of
simplest
bounties
platform,
we
started
doing
more
hackathons
incubators,
you
know
everything
virtually
and
accessible
online,
and
you
know
since
then,
we've
we've
kind
of
delved
into
this
idea
of
quadratic
funding
via
bitcoin
grants,
which
I'll
I'll
talk
to
a
little
bit
more
in
a
couple
minutes
all
right.
So,
let's
see
where
we
are
in
the
slides
all
right,
I'm
going
to
like
slide
four
here,
the
product
flywheel.
A
You
know
the
early
pandemic
days
when
all
of
a
sudden
everything
was
going
virtual
and
online
and
we'd
already
been
running
some
virtual
hackathons,
but
all
of
a
sudden
you
know
everyone's
events
were
virtual,
and
so,
while
it
was
for
unfortunate
reasons,
I
think
it
really
provided
a
a
interesting
way
that
people
all
over
the
world
can
now
participate
in
more
events
that
they
couldn't
in
the
past.
And
so,
as
a
result,
we
tried
to
make
things
feel
like
they
were
a
lot
more.
You
know
like
like
human
to
human.
A
A
A
You
know
even
our
hackathons,
the
kernel
accelerator
or
even
the
bitcoin
dao
we're
now
seeing
you
know,
people
come
in
who
are
designers
or
you
know
more
product
focused
people
or
you
know
hr
and
lawyers,
and
I
I
think
the
same
is
true
for
all
over
the
the
you
know
blockchain
space
right
now
is.
It
was
very
developer
focused
in
the
early
years,
but
you
know
it's
this
whole
blooming
industry
now
and
there's
opportunity
for
for
all
types
of
roles
to
be
fit
to
be
filled,
and
so
we
need.
A
A
But
you
know
there's
all
these
stuff
things
about
trading
and
you
know
tokens
pumping
and
nfts
and
influencers-
and
you
know
if
you're
like
me,
you're
in
like
100
different
discords
and
you
can't
keep
up
with
any
of
them,
and
so
it's
really
hard-
and
I
think
you
know
some
of
the
some
of
the
ways
that
we
provide.
You
know
opportunities
to
get
people
in
are
through
you
know,
bounties
and
hackathons,
and
just
you
know
genuine,
you
know,
interactions
via
workshops
webinars.
You
know
things
like
this.
A
Where
you
can
get
to
know
people.
You
know
you
join
the
community,
you
talk
to
one
another
and
and
yeah,
and
so
I
think
it's
distracting
and
daunting
at
first,
but
once
you
really,
you
know
find
that
that
community
you're
interested
in
or
find
that
you
know
piece
of
the
technology
that
really
fascinates
you
it's
it's
a
super
deep
rabbit
hole
to
to
go
into,
but
okay
yeah.
So
I
know
we're
like
halfway
through.
I
want
to
talk
about
bitcoin.
B
A
A
bit
now
for
kind
of
the
rest
of
the
presentation,
because
I
think
that's
kind
of
the
largest
opportunity
that
we
have
identified
and
been
focusing
on
in
terms
of
you
know:
funding
public
goods,
funding,
open
source
and,
basically
exposing
you
know
the
rest
of
the
world
and
maybe
non-crypto
native
people,
two
different
mechanisms
that
aren't
necessarily
around
you
know
pumping
a
coin
or
trading
nfts
or
anything
like
that.
So
what
is
bitcoin
grants?
A
What
is
quadratic
funding
quadratic
funding
was
basically
an
idea
that
that
vitalik,
budaran
and
glenn
whale
co-authored.
A
paper
on,
I
think
about
three
three
or
so
years
ago,
and
it's
similar
to
the
idea
of
quadratic
voting
right.
Where
you
know
a
group
of
people
can
each
have
multiple
votes,
they
can
vote
on
different
proposals
or
ideas
and
they
can
indicate
their
their
strength
of
their
preference
by
voting
on
something
multiple
times.
A
If
a
hundred
people
donate
one
dollar
in
support
of
some
grant,
that's
a
much
stronger
indication
that
that's
what
the
community
you
know
wishes
to
fund
than
if
one
person
donates
a
hundred
dollars.
So
in
the
context
of
quadratic
funding
like
two
people
donating
five
dollars
to
the
same
project
will
earn
the
same
match
as
one
person
donating
25
to
that
project.
If
that
makes
sense,
so
we've
been
doing
these
funding
rounds
now
for
for
three
years,
and
I
just
heard
someone
come
off
mute.
Is
there
a
question
on
that.
A
Okay
yeah,
so
so,
essentially,
what
we've
been
doing
is
running
these
matching
rounds
for
grants.
Where
we
do
this
once
per
quarter,
we
raise
this
matching
pool
of
funds.
Anyone
can
open
up
a
grant
if
they're
working
on
you
know
a
project,
that's
open
source
or
can
be
seen
as
a
public
good,
and
they
can
basically
accept
donations
from
the
community,
and
then
those
donations
get
matched
based
on
this.
This
algorithm
and
the
algorithm
the
mechanism
quadratic
funding.
It
aims
to
be
more
democratic.
A
D
A
Yeah
yeah,
so
that's
actually
a
really
interesting
part
of
it
as
well.
So
you
know
in
the
early
days
like
we,
we
did
some
very
small
matching
rounds.
I
think
bitcoin
grants
round.
One
was
a
25k
matching
pool
and
you
know
those
funds
often
came
from.
You
know
like
individual
donors,
I
wanted
to
support,
or
you
know
the
ethereum
foundation
or
you
know
other
other
foundations
that
have
treasuries
that
you
know,
have
grants
programs
but
part
of
the
the
issue
with
grants.
A
Programs
is
figuring
out,
you
know
who
to
fund
and
who
gets
to
make
those
decisions.
So
we
started
off
with
these
small
rounds.
They
slowly
grew
to
50k,
matching
pool,
100k
matching
pool,
and
after
you
know
a
few
iterations
of
this,
we
actually
saw
a
lot
of
projects
in
the
ecosystem
choosing
to
give
back
to
those
matching
pools
either
because
they
were,
you
know
making
you
know
decent
revenue
in
the
ecosystem.
A
A
One
interesting
example,
I
think,
is
the
one
my
slides
is
actually
with
uniswap
uniswap
was
one
of
our
very
early
bitcoin
grantees.
I
think
in
rounds.
You
know
one
or
two
or
three
got
some
of
their
initial
funding.
That
way,
you
know
eventually
like
if
a
project
launches
a
token
or
raises
vc
funds,
they're
no
longer
eligible,
for
you
know,
grant
matching
and
donations.
A
However,
unisop
now
kind
of
has
been
working
with
us
to
you
know,
help
fund
other
early
stage,
projects
in
the
ecosystem
and
they've
actually
been
doing
some
some
little
side
pools
for
grants,
projects
building
on
uniswa,
specifically
so
yeah.
I
think
on
slide
on
the
six
slide,
like
you
can
kind
of
see
the
scale
of
how
this
has
grown
over
the
12
rounds.
So,
like
I
said
round
12
we
saw,
or
we
had
3
million
in
matching
and
over
over
3
million.
A
I
think
3.1
or
3.2
in
community
donations
and
we're
seeing
the
amount
of
community
donations
go
up
significantly,
but
also
the
number
of
unique
donors
and
unique
donations,
which
is
really
cool
to
see
and
what
we
actually
have
been
experimenting
with
lately,
and
we
did
this
with
round.
12
is
doing
what
we
call
side
rounds
so
like
ecosystem
rounds
or
cause
rounds,
and
so
some
of
these
ecosystem
rounds
were
like
with
uniswap.
We
did
one
around
zk
tech.
A
We
did
one
with
synthetics,
where,
basically,
you
know,
grantees
that
are
building
projects
in
those
specific
ecosystems
can
get
matching
from.
You
know
an
individual
pool
for
a
set
of
smaller
grants,
and
then
we
did
these
cause
rounds
as
well.
So
we
did
one
around.
You
know
climate
change
prevention.
Obviously
we
did
one
around
advocacy,
so
you
know
politics
and
lobbying.
We
did
one
around
longevity
as
well,
so
like
life
extension
and
basically,
what
we
found
is
that
this
mechanism
is
a
really
interesting
way
to.
A
You
know
raise
funds
for
projects
that
maybe
don't
have
a
model
to
monetize
or
they're,
just
purely
public
goods
that
you
know
are
inherently
not
monetizable
and
we
want
to
expand
that
out
from
just
blockchain
and
ethereum
to
you
know
a
lot
of
these
real
world
use
cases,
and
you
know
I,
I
love
the
kind
of
just
mental.
You
know
experiments
of
thinking.
You
know
what
does
it
look
like
to
do
this
with
you
know
tax
dollars,
or
you
know,
governments
or
even
at
a
local
level.
A
You
know
if
there's
initiatives
in
your
town
that
you
want
to
fund
like.
Could
you
use
some
mechanisms
like
this
to
to?
You
know
basically
have
people
vote
with
their
money,
and
you
know
indicate
their
preferences
on
where
they
want
public
funds
to
be
going
while
also
contributing
to
to
help
build
up.
You
know
treasuries
for
those
initiatives,
so
yeah
I've
been
a
bit
all
over
the
place
but
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
just
talk
about
how
you
know
this
relates
to
you
as
a
developer
or
opportunities
there
as
well.
A
Yeah
definitely
I'd
say,
like
that's
a
good
question,
I
mean
in
the
context
of
git
coin
like
so.
You
know
we
kind
of
like
to
see
our
our
products
we
almost
as
a
flywheel.
So
like
you
can
join
the
platform,
you
know
find
some
bounties,
even
if
they're
you
know
100
or
a
couple
hundred
dollar
bounties
and
just
start
doing
some
work
and
contributing,
and
then
maybe
that
leads
to
you
joining
the
hackathon
and
building
a
hackathon
project
and
then
all
of
a
sudden.
A
A
Try
to
get
you
know,
additional
funding
in
in
these
grants
rounds
so
we'd
like
to
kind
of
help
people
get
through
that
whole
life
cycle,
but
you
know
at
a
larger
scale,
it's
just
about
like
a
willingness
to
learn
and
to
meet
other
people,
because
I
think
you
know
in
in
daos
and
in
blockchain
like
like,
everyone
is
well,
not
everyone,
but
many
people
are
very
friendly.
They
want
to
get
new
people
into
the
space
they
want
to
meet
others.
A
A
Maybe
you
join
a
hackathon
and
don't
build
anything,
but
you
just
come
to
some
workshops
to
learn
things
like
that
are
a
great
way
to
kind
of
you
know
dip
your
toes
in
or
you
just
listen
to
some
twitter
spaces
like
this,
and
you
know
use
that
as
as
a
starting
point
and
a
lot
of
people
and
that
I've
seen
in
daos
and
these
communities
do
have
full-time
jobs
elsewhere
and
they're.
Just
trying
to
you
know
kind
of
kind
of
meet
some
people,
and
you
know
just
dip
their
toes
in
before
they.
D
Oh
I'll
I'll
ask
it
afterwards.
I
know
we're
at
time
and
the
question
might
go
too
deep
for
this
conversation,
but
no.
This
is
incredible.
Conor.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
sharing
all
the
opportunities
I
yeah.
It's
incredible,
learn
about
all
the
all
the
ways
people
can
get
involved.
You
know
obviously
on
git
coin
specifically,
but
in
other
another
platforms
as
well.
It's
just
I
you
know
when
we
were
doing
the
gore
families
it
it's.
A
Thank
you
yeah.
Thank
you
guys
so
much
for
having
me
yeah.
If
anyone
does
have
any
more
questions
like
feel
free
to
just
dm
me
on
twitter,
or
you
know,
hop
into
get
going
discord
happy
to
chat.
You
know
wherever
but
yeah
come
come.
Take
a
look,
and
you
know
if
you're
working
on
a
project
consider
opening
up
a
grant
for
it.
If
you
know
you
just
want
to
learn
and
meet
people,
you
know
hop
in
the
community.
