Open Source Commitment

The Gitcoin Donation Frame is open-source, fostering a transparent and collaborative development environment. This commitment ensures that the project remains accessible and modifiable by the community, driving further innovation and adoption.

Impact

This project directly supports the growth of public goods by making it easier for donors to contribute to projects they care about, leveraging the fast-growing cryptocurrency sector. By meeting donors where they are — on Farcaster — we bridge the gap between potential funders and valuable projects.
