Launch website to interact with the protocol

Onboard teams

Onboard 2 teams and get at least 25 grantees to post updates.

50% of the funds raised - development work

The remaining funds will be used to continue building features for GAP. We plan to build the following features in the next two months: Wallet to wallet notification to remind grantees to post updates Support for other L2 networks (currently only Optimism is supported).

50% of the funds raised - sponsor gas for Gitcoin grantees

Grantees have started using GAP to post updates about their progress. GAP is an onchain protocol and is gasless (i.e, the users don't pay for transaction). We will allocate 50% of the funds raised to continue sponsoring gas for Gitcoin grantees to continue posting updates.
