New @greenpillnet pod out today! In this special episode of Green Pill, Kevin talks with the team behind Gitcoin Grants 24 (GG24) — the first funding round of the Gitcoin 3.0 era.
They discuss how GG24 redefines public goods funding through community-led “domains,” multi-mechanism rounds, and coalition-based capital allocation.

This episode features Gitcoin’s core contributors and domain leads, including Mathilda DV, Luuk, Sov, John Guilding, David Dao, Afo, Paul, Monty, Rohit, and Devansh — covering topics from privacy and interoperability to public goods R&D, targeted adoption, and developer tooling.
