🆕 Gitcoin proposal: use Hypercerts and Dedicated Domain Allocation to require cost breakdowns and Benefit–Cost ratios, programmatic GG24 matching (Snapshot vote Aug 22–29)
A proposal by thedevanshmehta would use Hypercerts and a Dedicated Domain Allocation (DDA) to require transparent cost breakdowns and measurable outputs (Benefit–Cost ratios) from Web3 popups and residencies, programmatically distributing GG24 matching funds and enabling cofunding by donors, participants, and local citizens to standardize impact-driven funding.
