Public Wealth: Fancy Money Making Techniques ft. GG21

In the " @Web3Matters Weekly " and " Green Sofa Green Sofa " in which I am deeply involved, we are trying to explore: How to promote reward benefits?

Web3 started with an external incentive mechanism, but what we hope more is internal motivation through small rewards, and then it will be regenerative:

• "Web3Matters Matt Weekly" currently distributes rewards worth approximately 4 USD equivalent in cryptocurrency for each selected article, which is intended to be a retroactive reward.

• "Green Sofa Green Sofa" is preparing for the next round of PGF on-site rounds. It adopts an invitation system. Each project of the previous "FAB DAO Subsidy" has an invitation quota. Baiyue NFT holders have the right to vote for fund allocation. Promoting connections with FAB DAO related communities.

As mentioned in "Block Trend" , web3 public funds are blooming everywhere. This is the "happy trouble" of investors, shaping the bull market of builders.

Therefore, we continue to participate in various web3 fundraising rounds, introduce external funds, and experiment with various "fancy money-making techniques" to implement the core purpose of individual organizations.

In Gitcoin Grants 21, Metagov launched a new fundraising round " Web3 Grants Ecosystem Advancement Round ", which happens to fit our experiment:

Projects must primarily focus on advancing the Web3 grants ecosystem. Eligible projects include:

1. Contributions to the Web3 grants on-chain registry
2. Research and thought leadership in the Web3 grants space
3. Development of tools for grant discovery and application processes
4. Aggregation of news and events related to Web3 grants
5. Experiments with novel funding mechanisms

This article will initially classify and sort out the projects in this fundraising round, hoping that we can inspire each other in the future experimental exploration of "fancy money".
