With 88 epic grantees, 6,372 unique donors, $144,668 donations, and 333,333 in matching funding, the Open Source Software Round is popping off! πŸš€

Read more to learn about the OSS Round πŸ‘‡
In our first QF round in 2019, we raised $38k for Open Source Software. Now, 15 rounds later, our grants program has distributed $38M in funding. πŸ€―πŸ“ˆ
Open source software is like a digital toolbox for the internet. It's a collection of code that developers can use to build and improve the technology we use every day. And the best part? Anyone can access and contribute to it. #OpenSource101
Open source software being freely available and open to contributions from anyone is what makes it a digital public good. It allows for a collective effort to improve and advance technology for the benefit of all 🌈
The projects in the Gitcoin Program Alpha OSS Round primarily focus on developing on top of or advancing the broader Ethereum and/or Web3 industry 🀝✨
To hear from the grantees themselves, check out this recording of our OSS Round Shill space where grantees participating in the round got the chance to share their incredible projects ❀️
