🆕 owocki proposes Gitcoin "TEMP CHECK" to coordinate coalitional funding, pooling ecosystem capital for larger grants
owocki proposes a TEMP CHECK for Gitcoin to coordinate “coalitional funding” where multiple ecosystems pool capital into shared grants and joint funding rounds so Gitcoin becomes the Schelling point for ecosystem-aligned public goods funding, yielding larger pots, stronger signals for builders, reduced duplication, and improved capital efficiency. The main cost is added coordination and governance complexity; community reaction is limited but constructive (one reply proposing integration with Updraft.fund to streamline testing and reduce builder time waste).
