Gitcoin aims to empower Public Goods in the Information Age. Gitcoin (GTC) is an ethereum token that enables community governance of the gitcoin platform. GTC is a governance token with no economic value. GTC governs Gitcoin: to decentralize grants, manage disputes, and govern the treasury. GTC is the first step on Gitcoin path towards progressive decentralization. Each voice in the community has the power to shape Gitcoin future. "Open Source Software is a public good. Its funding is one of the information age’s most critical, yet unsolved coordination problems. It is in Gitcoin's DNA to build & fund the open web, and we are committed to solving this problem. We aspire to demonstrate a sustainable & decentralized model for building public goods."
