Many people are asking me what Gitcoin is, or whether to donate money, I think as long as the friends who have participated in it will be "really fragrant".
For example, Mask, which has become popular recently, participated in the 8th round of fundraising activities of Gitcoin. When Mask Network issued the token Mask, it airdropped to donors.
So this lottery lottery is still worth a shot at motorcycles.

01 What is Gitcoin
Gitcoin is a community product of an algorithm concept proposed by Vitalik to solve the problem of low financing efficiency of Ethereum ecological projects. Another more famous algorithm concept realized by the community is Uniswap. This is a decentralized collaboration platform based on the Ethereum network. Its vision is to support various open source projects and free developers of open source projects through the blockchain, and promote the development of the open source movement.
If Uniswap has reshuffled the user habits of exchanges, then Gitcoin has reconstructed the seed investment method for early community projects.
Gitcoin incentivizes the open source collaboration mechanism on Github with Ethereum tokens, and developers can monetize their skills and get rewards and rewards when they are interested and voluntary.
