🆕 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. Benefits: clearer accountability, more efficient allocation, and diversified revenue sources; costs/risks: organizer willingness and feasibility are uncertain and GG24 funding must remain under 30% per applicant; community reaction is limited but focused, with owocki asking about organizer buy‑in and contingent funding amounts; domain vote is on Snapshot from 2023-08-22 to 2023-08-29 and domains are to be announced on 2023-09-01.

🆕 Gitcoin proposal "Metafunding" to professionalize public‑goods funding via research, datasets, evaluators, prediction markets and simulations — ~$30k committed, aiming ≥$50k with $15k Seer match
DavidDAO proposes a “Metafunding” Gitcoin Grants domain to professionalize public goods funding (PGF) by funding peer-reviewed research, open datasets, evaluator capacity, prediction markets (Seer/Recerts/Hyperstaker), and simulation benchmarking (Simocracy) to reframe PGF as a high‑ROI infrastructure rather than charity. Benefits: improved mechanism ROI, shared data, stronger evaluator capacity, and faster feedback loops; costs/risks: initial budget (~$30,000 committed, aiming for ≥$50,000), potential donor centralization and mechanism–donor disconnect that need validation; community reaction is limited but constructive (2 replies) with interest in market‑based evaluation and an offered $15,000 Seer One match/subsidy.
