But what is the point of giving? There are two main reasons.
The first reason is purely philanthropic.
By giving, you support projects and teams that are building the future of DeFi and developing tools that help you in everyday life.

Examples of such free public goods include
👉 @coingecko
👉 @DefiLlama
👉 @l2beat
Donations enable these tools to remain free, making it essential to donate so that they do not become exclusive and elitist.

Also this kind of funding allows projects to avoid financing through VC that centralize opportunities, power, and token supply among a small number of entities.
This type of campaign is crucial for community-driven projects and for promoting decentralization in general.

The second reason is that some projects offer rewards to contributors, such as #Airdrop or other forms of compensation.
For example, @JediSwap distributed unique NFTs and Discord roles to donors of their previous Gitcoin campaigns:

Optimism is one such project, having distributed over $1000 to ETH donors.

In summary, by giving you:
➡️ support your favorite projects, public goods, and decentralization
➡️ may be eligible for rewards from the projects you support
➡️ may also be eligible for rewards from L2 and other infrastructure project

Note that rewards are not guaranteed and are actually quite rare. When donating money, keep in mind that you may not receive anything in return.
While a pleasant surprise may occur, financial rewards should be considered a bonus rather than the primary goal.
